palpitations, heart doing flip flops oh yes this is how my anxiety started.....there is nothing worse than feeling your heart ! But it's true as long as your checked out to rule out anything else you will be fine. I am so used to these palpitations that they really don't bother me anymore. My dr. gave me a beta blocker to stop them but I still get them once in a while, these are part of my physical symptoms that I get with my anxiety disorder. Take care and god bless
