Hi I m getting a bit concerned about my heart a few weeks ago I was jut sat watching tele and my heart just nearly lept out of my throat I went to my local walk-in center because I had a severe panic attack I am now on medication for indegestion and propanalol for panic attacks but the tablets for the indigestion are not working I m suffering with the heart thumping as I m writing but the doctor said my hearts fine can you help I m so worried it could be more serious
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor An ECG, thyroid function blood test and a complete blood count would be able to assess the palpitations to see if there is any cause related to either of these 3 areas. If these are normal then this may mean that there is no organic cause and the increased heart rate is related to your panic attacks. If the tablets for indigestion are not working then you may want to see your doctor for another one that may work better for you. I hope this helps
