  1. nurse52 - No. Anxiety can cause palpitations. also it is normal for people to get them occasionally.
    If you have them then they can make you anxious, then more palpitations. Kind of a vicious circle.
    Try to stay calm when you have them. Tell your self "this is normal" Try coughing or bearing down like you are going to poop. Sometimes This will stop them.
    If that doesn't help try something to side track your self to get your mind off it.
    Hope this helps.
