so a fun thing is that occasionally across the past few weeks i've felt like maybe my heart was fluttering, or maybe i was just imagining it, IDK. but it's totally the sort of thing my anxiety can fixate on and start to freak out about, and this year, i'm anxious to begin with.

anyway i guess i'll try sending a message to the primary care physician i've been assigned but haven't met yet to see if they think it's something that should be checked out or what.

it’s almost certainly anxiety driving palpitations. And almost certainly ok. I had this (still do, sometimes). Eventually got an ekg just to check. It was okay. If it gives you peace of mind get it checked.

Thank you so much for the knowledgeable response! I am sure you're right, and that is reassuring. I may get it checked out anyway of course, but I do really appreciate that.

This hit me over the summer; the initial symptoms were more chest pain/tightness/almost dizziness which were... concerning. All checked out ok, but also got EKGs, a chest xray, and wore a heart monitor for a few days to be sure. Every provider v supportive of checking it out
