Sometimes I sit and start to feel strong heart beat, but not like I did have when I got my panic attack. Is this is due that I suffer from anxiety and panic disorders? Or is it something else.And is panic attacks different?I mean could sometimes be very strong heart beat and very fast and sometimes not very fast? You got the point?Thanks

Yes it’s a very normal side effect. It’s harmless the sudden thud’s or strong heart beats are called palpitations. It due to excessive adrenaline being released into your blood stream because of stress/anxiety/panic attacks. They can last up to a few months caffeine and nictotine will make them worse. There is a website that you may find usefull below.
It could be part of your panic attacks. Panic attacks can be caused when your body is releasing the hormone that tells your body to panic…which will increase heart rate. But it could be another hormonal imbalance or other issue, if you can tell that it’s different from when you have a panic attack.
See a doctor about it to be safe. Simple blood tests and an ECG can rule out anything serious.
DO you drink anything with caffeine or other stimulants? I can barely drink a cola without making my heart race. Try cutting those things out of your diet. ( they can make you panicky as well)
Does it race after a large meal, or after a sugary snack?- a quick increase in too much blood sugar can also increase your heart rate. Keep track of when it happens and how it feels when it happens, and consider comparing it again to panic attacks. But see a doctor about it for sure.
My panic attacks were not panic attacks at all, but something called Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity – essentially an allergy to the the wireless boom.
Most likely these episodes of yours are caused by either a cell phone, a cordless phone, a wifi router, or a nearby cell phone mast or antenna. You can check for towers here…

Just be forewarned that not all towers and antennas are registered – the 3 antennas that made me sick are not on there.
I’ll include some links about electrosensitivity, but tomorrow, when you are out and about, start pa
