new here. hope you can help. does anyone get heart flutters or heart palpitation from panic attacks? and does anyone have a few drinks to help them thru a panic attack.

I get the flutters and palpitation and it's the scariest thing. Been to the doctor and heart is fine. I also tend to have a few drinks no matter what time of day it is if I am going through an attack.

I dont suffer that much with panic attacks anymore but I used to really badly.
Yeah the heart flutters are quite scary but normal for some1 suffering from panic attacks, making the attacks worse because you panic about having a heart attack, stroke etc...

I used to get really wierd feeling I cant explain, like an electric shock going through me or somethin.

Yes, I've had the palpitations/heart flutters too - As Den1 said, they are quite normal with panic attacks. They're horrible though!

Wow, I've never heard of anybody else having that electric shock feeling, I thought I was alone on that lol. It hasn't happened in a few years, but occasionally I would get what felt like waves of electricity shooting up and down my body. When someone was with me during one of these episodes, they could actually see the hair on my face and scalp stand up as the electric feeling reached my head. Once I had one while I was playing a video game and the car I was driving began making turns on its own, without my fingers even touching the controls! That may have been a coincidence, but it never happened before or after that incident.

Personally, I think us social phobics have some kind of 6th sense that makes us aware of some aspect of life that nobody has been able to term or explain yet. Have you ever felt like you are ahead of your time? Like you're out of place in the current world? Maybe we feel so strange because we are in a small minority that has a tiny amount of some mental ability that is introducing itself into our race's evolution.

Think about the changes that have taken place in the modern world over the past few centuries. It is only reasonable that our brains continue to advance along with the technology that surrounds us.

Lol, wrap your heads around that you social phobics.

Hi i'm new hear and I was reading everyones posts about heart palpitations and being scared. I am right there too. I have panic attacks pretty much anytime I go out of my comfort zone of my house or my moms house. The part of the panic attack that I fear most is the racing heart and the palpitations. I have the added trouble of actually having heart disease which in itself causes my heart to skip. I also eventually need heart surgery to replace a valve. So when I'm having a panic attack I have actual fear of something happening to my heart. I am always worried that it is more than a panic attack and that it's my heart. This has sent my panic into overdrive and I have pretty much become obsessed with my heart. Constantly checking my heart beats and counting how often it skips. It is truely driving me crazy. It did help to hear that others have the flutters and the palpitations though because I thought that was just associated with my heart problems but i know see anxiety causes that also. I have been checked by my heart dr. and he has said everything seems fine. But I still get crazy doubts in my head. I'm sure being pregnant on top of all this has not helped my anxiety level either. Anxiety is the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with
