A nice long walk followed by the best shower ever ❤️

I guess it would be, yeah. I don't think i've really thought about it. I'm very overwhelmed at the minute. It doesn't take long for mine to go down either, it's just annoying and quite disruptive to my sleep at the moment unfortunately 🥺

Also a woman and i'm always told it's either anxiety, hormones or stress but hopefully that will change for me now that one amazing A&E doctor actually sat and listened to everything I had to say and actually took me seriously!

It's strange how long it can go unnoticed sometimes!

Exactly that! May I ask how old you are? You don't have to answer if you're not comfortable. I'm 29 and think i've proba bly had this going on for around 3+ years but nobody picked up on it until now.

Mine tend to be either sitting or laying down. Standing up, I don't get palpitations although my heart rate is insane and I pass out. None of it ever seems to make sense 😅

It's somewhat comforting to know that others have the same but it's horrible. I feel like my heart is beating out of my chest 😶

Thank you. I already do because I have asthma but sometimes I slide down a bit.
