I'm 20 and have been having heart palpatations regularly for about 3 months now, but I've been getting them periodically since I was about 14. At first when I started getting them in January it was very violent and my arms were always tingling, I'd start to get some hot flashes and dizziness, shortness of breath, etc etc...almost like a panic attack. I thought about that but I'm very stress free so I doubt it's that. It was like that for about 2 months, on and off. Slowly it got better and less frequent, the tingling subsided, then it randomly stopped last week and my heart rate was normal again. Now today it's starting up again, the tingling is back and down to my legs even. It's not racing fast like it was a month ago but I got a wonderful 3 moments of tunnel vision from when my heart did the skip a beat thing lol. Any advice and what to do about it. Doctors are not an option right now because I just got laid off and have no insurance. But any dietary measures or excercises that you think would help I do have the time for. They are really becoming a nuisance, and it's becoming hard to sleep with them. I'm up until 2 on average now. Once I get to sleep it'll flop just enough to wake me up. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Well hope everything goes well with you, if you have anymore questions feel free to ask....your not the only one dealing with something like this
