I also sometimes get heart palpitations, and went to the doctor to get a physical to see if I had some kind of heart problem. As with the other posters, I was told “You've got nothing to worry about. It's all fine.”
When I was in college, an interesting thing happened to a friend of mine — he was sure he had a heart condition, and was having a heart attack or heart seizure of some kind. But the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with his heart. Eventually it turned out that he had torn a muscle in his chest playing rugby, which was causing pains in his chest. So his heart WAS fine — but his other muscles had a problem.
I wonder if some heart palpitations could in fact be twitches in other muscles in or around our hearts?

It's amazing how much that goes on in our hearts starts between our ears. I've had days where I've had 15,000+ PVCs in a day – and like you, I'm not my jovial self on those days. Pretty grumpy and disconnected. I've also had all the tests and been told I'm fine. I've recently added PAT to the mix, but again, benign. So I've started a website for those of us in this same boat to share stories and lean on each other, because it seems that those who don't live through it don't know what it's like. We're also researching different avenues to reduce symptoms of the various arrhythmia and will be getting some medical professionals on board to weigh in on topics as well.
The next time you're having palps and need someone to talk to, I'd love it if you stopped over.
Best regards,
Jeff

Sounds rough, Soni.
The trouble is, as you say, that the unconscious is in control and it can be rather stubborn in continuing to 'protect' you when it is no longer necessary.
But the good news is there are now many excellent ways to get your unconscious mind working for you instead of against you. Keep going and you'll find your solution.
Here's my list of ways that have worked for me: http://tinyurl.com/lcgtfk see “For resolving unwanted emotional reactions”.

I have those too, part of the lovely “anxiety disorder” package I inherited from my family and that was honed by many years living in an abusive situation as a child. I do take meds to even it out (meds that, luckily, aren't actively trying to kill me as far as I know). But yeah, I certainly do know how much crap I create for myself, as well. I've just never been able to get enough of a handle on it to manage it myself. Too much trauma, I think.
Just as a side note, if you're home sick over the weekend fighting with post-medaggedon sickness, Google is *not* your friend. lol.
