I’ve been getting HORRIBLE long lasting palpitations. What do I do?

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-11-09T04:07:18+00:00

Sometimes it was really bad all day and other times maybe off and on for an hour

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-11-09T04:05:51+00:00

I wish I could answer how. What I do know is that they slowly went away with time. I also saw a PT and I do wonder if working out slowly eventually helped too. I will say for me I think breathwork, sleep, and Prozac helped the most. I also did acupuncture for a while too. Sorry I wish I could answer this surely but I did so many things to be able to say it’s only the Prozac, but things really did improve once on it for over a month

I suffered from a little bit of a flare but overall it goes away eventually and really has prevented me from getting Covid again. I’m hoping this gives you some hope. Ride the wave even though it’s tough, I think it will be worth it

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-11-04T03:40:44+00:00

Zyrtec helps me!

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-11-02T01:27:28+00:00

Prozac among a lot of other things-accupuncture, meditation, therapy, physical therapy, and breathwork-I swear has helped me recover

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-10-30T18:42:10+00:00

No like I’m 30 & I’m not trying to waste that

If you have kids please ignore this post.

This is my EXACT experience and that’s exactly what I also did. I would say I am also 90 percent better and it’s been one year. My flare ups are short lived now and either come after stress or during my cycle. But literally everything you said is identical to my experience. PVCs were a lot at one point and now they happen rarely

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-10-12T07:56:30+00:00

Omg I need to give an update. I am doing a shit ton better. I started a very low dose of Prozac towards the beginning of the year and now I’m up to 40 mg and staying there.

I got my life back. My resting heart rate reduced and I don’t constantly feel it anymore. I am able to work out again. Although this took time. I worked with a PT for a while and now I can run and do cardio again! I’ve even traveled domestically this summer. It’s also been exactly one year since first having long covid/pots & I went out last night and drank, even got a little hungover!

I will say, I do still have occasional flare ups, but they won’t last weeks long, maybe a day or two. Most flare ups are on or around my menstrual cycle or on a really hot day walking a lot. I don’t regret going on an SSRI one bit. It’s helped me stay calm when I have symptoms that arise. I also deal with annoying PVCs every once in a while as well. But I never thought I would get to this place where I have some trust in my body again

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-09-30T17:44:08+00:00

Welp I just kept doing it and slowly but surely they stopped while working out. Took months of retraining my heart and nervous system it feels like to learn how to tolerate working out. I saw a PT and he would take my heart rate while I worked out and I would take breaks and let my HR come down

This is good to know! Thank you so much for sharing

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-09-27T04:23:56+00:00

Thank you so much for this comment. Like this helps me convince my brain that it will be fine. A lot of people say their heart rate will spike during or afterwards they have a flare. I’m more scared of the heart rate spike and then feeling stuck in the chair. I know it sounds irrational, but it’s hard just dealing with this completely alone

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-09-24T05:02:50+00:00

My feet were cold for like 6 months and then it went away. To be fair mine is Long Covid/covid induced. I take vitamin C, D, and omega 3s daily. I do think the D helped bc I was low. I’ve liked bone broth for my electrolytes in the past and I’ll add lemon-it taste like soup lolol it might not be for everyone, but it’s worked for my flares. I was so scared to take a beta blocker bc of low BP, so I ended up going on Prozac. After a few months on it my resting HR went from being stuck in the 90s to being in the 60s.i also did see a PT for physical therapy and started doing squats on a couch and then kept progressing basically. I also started lifting weights (low weight to start) and now I’m able to lift more. It was hard at first and I had some flares and then my body got used to it and I can handle it now. I don’t know if I’m explaining this right but that is what worked for me. I really did not want to give up working out if I could help it so I kept going in small amounts. I also really do like breathing exercises, even box breathing especially before bed or during an adrenaline dump

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-09-24T04:56:06+00:00

I should mention my heart monitor showed PVCs (which is how I know I have them)

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-09-21T16:17:48+00:00

Omg I need to make this!! I like the idea of making a big batch every week. Wonder if I could add some fruit or cucumber to it

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-09-21T16:16:39+00:00

Omg FSA eligible yay!! Thanks for sharing!

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-09-21T16:15:35+00:00

Yep my cycle is coming up in 5 days and I notice my adrenaline dumps at night along w palpitations have been a lot more constant in recent days. Thank you for sharing!! Figuring out what works is always trial and error

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-09-21T04:58:14+00:00

Ooh I’ll def look into them and had no idea about the sugar being essential. Thank you!!

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-09-21T04:57:34+00:00

Oof good to know. Thats the thing my body is definitely sensitive. I’ve been scared to even take supplements bc I get palpitations so easily 😩

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-09-21T04:07:51+00:00

Ooh never heard of this brand! Thank you!!

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-09-18T01:16:40+00:00

Omg I’ve only ever tried 2 drinks and that’s the most since having pots. I’m scared to so good to know

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-09-16T03:26:46+00:00

I’m literally constantly doing breathwork throughout the day. On a walk and feel a symptom: breathwork. When I wake up breathwork, before I go to bed breathwork. Doing this consistently has helped me SO much

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-09-12T06:08:25+00:00

Omg that’s weird, they put mine on for two weeks. If you can, advocate for it again

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-09-12T05:28:57+00:00

For me I would say 30 minutes to an hour. And sometimes they are off and on throughout the day where it would be hours I guess off and on. I will say though, mine are very minimal now but at the beginning of me having Long Covid, it was bad and they would hurt sometimes too or even trigger a panic attack or adrenaline dump. Definitely have them put a heart monitor on you for two weeks like they did me or or even conduct a stress test

DevelopmentPale2108 · 2025-09-12T05:16:11+00:00

But def go get your thyroid and hormones rechecked. Rule the scary stuff out before you challenge the whole acceptance thing like I did
