Can thinking of something, make it happen?!?!?!
I have an ectopic heartbeat, which causes most of my anxiety, when i get a palpitation my thoughts are obsessive over them. I was just wondering, is it possible that i am bringing them on myself by thinking about having palpitations all the time? I had some yesterday after about a week free of them, then today as soon as i woke up i was thinking if i would have another one. Ive just had one! They make me so anxious. I know they cant hurt me but the feeling is horrible, frightening, and i feel sick etc. I am also waiting to have CBT to help me, will this help?
Thank you
Sherrie

I don't know much about CBT, but I know it's really effective from what I hear.
So yeah, I think it might help.

Oh i really hope so! i went to see my GP earlier, he increased my dose of Propanalol to 160mg a day, from 80mg a day. I hope this helps the palpitations a somewhat!

It can sort of happen, the fact that your thinking about it means that you'd actively pay attention to something you normally would just ignore and thinking about it might make you anxious which in-turn might cause it to happen, like an evil vicious circle, i normally get them when im driving or in bed

I totally agree.

I had a bout of palpitations a couple of months ago. The more I thought (and worried) about them, the more they seemed to happen. As I slowly began to pay less attention to them (and worry less), they gradually disappeared.
