I've had cardiophobia for about 14 yrs now. I've had all sorts of heart palpitations which are my main fear.

I always come up with some new symptom freak out about it for awhile then it disappears and something new comes up. Well this would be the time that something new has come up and I'm freaking out about it.

My palps aren't usually what you'd consider palps to be described as. It's not the pause then the thud. It's thud/squeeze/pause all in one.

Lately it happens when I stand, bend my head downwards, twist my torso or whatever. If I eat then go to stand up it'll feel like I get the feeling then a second or two of nothing then the feeling again and this will go on and on for awhile. It's gotten to where I'm afraid to stand up, I get up very slowly now. After the episode I'd notice bloating and belching.

I asked 2 cardios about it and they said it wasn't my heart but sounded more like stomach issues. This helped for a couple days but the obsession and fear came back. And now the sensation is happening at different times and I'm just scared in general now. I'm afraid something is very wrong this time and I'm going to go into a fit and die.

I'm 28, mother of 3. I've had 9 ekgs in my life 6 of them being within the past 4-5 years. All are always normal. Stress test fine, 24 hour monitor nothing showed up.

YOu'd think after 14 years of this round and round I'd be a step closer to being over it but I keep getting sucked back in. Does anyone have any advice for me?
