Hi :O)) .............. does anyone have experience of heart palpitations and/or irregular heartbeat?? If so - can you describe the physical feeling of it please - thanks xxxx

Boom didi boom didi boom didi boom - goodness gracious me!

Sorry! Your heart just starts racing double time all of a sudden and stops just as quick (most times).

Anna lol Thanks - is that for both ???

Both hearts?! That describes palpitations in my experience.

I have two hearts ???? pmsl Thanks Anna - been getting a 'flutter' on and off for a while now and was wondering what it might be :O))

Cut out the caffeine and get a check up!

Daily My heart feels like its racing and bangs away in my chest sometimes so bad I can feel it in my throat as well. I find somewhere to sit quietly as an Anxiety attack usually takes place within the next 5 mins. got used to it now

It's probably a bit of stress or anxiety, Anne...but have a check up anyway. I should think.....XXX BC

I had an irregular heartbeat. Went for a check up once and the girl testing ran out of the room and brought the doctor. On another occasion I paid for a BUPA check-up and when they discovered the irregularity, the doctor brought in a team of medical students to view same' It never caused me any problems and went normal under excercise. Bit disturbing in bed as you are listening for it. Had a heart operation unconnected to the above and it is now rectified. Don,t worry about it. Happy days

Only in the company of you lovely women on Gr

hi anne, palpitations,are when your resting heartbeat races for no apparent reason. heart rhythm is two beats,two beats,two beats,but sometimes the heart will miss a beat...however if this continues,it would be best to see a doctor. bryan.

I agree with Nana...........too much caffeine......i suffered when i was 26....worked too many hours......didnt eat properly......... drank loads of coffee to stay awake............and would have a few pints on the way home.....! Had lots of tests done, all inconclusive. Turned out to be too much coffee. Never touch the stuff now. Nick

If it is accompanied by feeling extremely hot, exhausted and shakes, I would get your thyroid gland checked as this is symptoms of over-active thyroid. Tricia

Thanks everyone :O)) I drink tea - altho not in copious amounts - but I also drink a couple or so cans of diet coke most days - maybe that's it. Or it might just be an anxiety thing that I am not aware of - it's just a flutter in the middle of my chest - but sometimes I do get a feeling that follows it which feels a bit like when you get anxious, exicted, scared. I will keep monitoring it for progress :O))

feels like hearts in your throat sometimes beating, sometimes you can hear it like a ticking noise if its beatin hard enough remember standing by my mum once and could hear hers , she suffered bad palpatations, cup your hands over your mouth , take slow deep breaths in and out, till it slows back down, or use paper bag if you got one its not pleasant feeling

If it stops let us know?!

I had this the other week Anne been ok since but its an awful feeling it really is , I hated it. I put it down to stress. Davexx

Patricia - no other symptoms like you describe no ! Anna - what ?? my heart or the fluttering ??? ROFL

Oops - the fluttering Anne! LOL!
