Recently visited my Doctor after feeling very anxious and suffering from palpitations, I told him about the way I was feeling, stressed, nervous and felt my chest fluttering when I am sat quiet on an evening. He gave me an ECG and has now decided to do a 48hour ECG in a few weeks time and throughout has not explained a thing to me, which has made me feel even more anxious and the symptoms are getting worse by the day. I keep my self realtively fit, never usually worry but now I feel like a different person. basically I am struggling to keep calm and not stay off work.

Comments from anyone would be welcome.

Hi Integra,

Welcome to the Forum.

It may be that you doctor has not explained anything because he wants to do the test first, but you could always ring your doctor and ask, so that you can feel more at ease.

This article on Anxiety & Panic Attacks has useful information explaining what's going on and what to do about it.

Best wishes.
