I'm a 43 year old who has been suffering with bouts of panic and heart palpitations. Three years ago I started having a single heart palpitation that was very mild. Some months later I had my first panic attack. I was given Buspar which relieved the panic attacks but not the heart palpitation. I continued to have this single palp. sporadically for the next three years. I went back to the doctor and was put on Atenolol. Immediately I started having panic attacks again after 21/2 years. Went back to the doctor and was given Zanax .25mg and am now going through a series of tests to make sure nothing else is wrong with me. But even on the Zanax I still sporadically have a heart palp. but the panic attacks stopped again. Today, however, I almost had a panic attack again. I think sometimes the panic happens as a result of the palp. because it worries me and makes me feel uncomfortable. Anybody else have any similar experience?
