In this episode, I would like to give you five tips on how to deal with the fear of extrasystoles and heart palpitations. Tip number one: Most patients who experience extrasystoles and heart palpitations in themselves actually have a nervous system overstimulation and a perfectly normal heartbeat rather than an actual heart disorder. Nevertheless, it always makes sense to have a new symptom or phenomenon that you recognize clarified by a doctor.
That is, if you have the feeling that you perceive extrasystoles or have this heart stumble, then you should first of all have this symptom clarified by a specialist. In all likelihood, you will first get feedback there that your heart is healthy and that your heartbeat is also quite normal. Perhaps a long-term ECG can also show the presence of extrasystoles.
However, the occurrence of extrasystoles is not pathological as long as they do not exceed a certain limit. In this respect, we quickly go to tip number two: First of all, you should try to take it easy in such a stressful situation. See also the tips I give you on how to deal with derealization and depersonalization in acute cases. It is important that you turn to these symptoms that you experience in the moment of stress in order to understand what is happening concretely on your mental level, so that you also react to this phenomenon accordingly with the feeling of fear and panic.
This is important for tip number three: put an ace up your sleeve. You need something in the situation that you can simply focus on the next time this stress occurs. Remember the following sentence: Your energy always follows your focus. And in the moment of stress, you are under so much stress that you can't really expect to think of something creative to focus on.
You should turn to the problem level from tip two to prepare yourself. You can always have this prepared content with you to be able to see exactly in case of doubt: Now I have just this problem and now I can direct my focus concretely on the following points...
In principle, this can be something you are looking forward to. It can be something that is your goal for the future, that you are working towards. But it can also simply be a relaxed, concrete way of dealing with this symptomatology - this is also referred to as "affirmations". My heart is healthy. I just have an overstimulation of the nervous system and everything here beats normally, as it should.
And I can now relax and get back to what is most important in my everyday life. Tip number four: Pay attention to your diet and exercise habits. Certain foods will exacerbate your problem. These include, in particular, caffeinated drinks and nicotine. Likewise, unhealthy food and not drinking enough water can worsen your problem - as can too little exercise.
In today's stressful everyday life, many stress hormones are produced, which are reduced by physical exercise. If we don't get enough exercise in our daily lives, but at the same time we don't relax enough, we have too high amounts of stress hormones in our bloodstream. And these also promote an introspective ability, which we basically need in order to perceive the problem in the first place. And that brings us to final tip number five:
Often there is something quite different behind such a phenomenon than feared. Often it is not a real heart disease that we should be worried about. Nevertheless, quite a few things happen in our lives where our brain more or less tells us: Please don't go on as before. Your brain doesn't give you an exact plan either. But your brain says first of all, the way we have done it so far, we are not really friendly with ourselves.

What Are Extrasystoles and How Can They Be Treated?
Extrasystoles, also known as premature contractions, are an irregular heartbeat that occurs when the heart’s electrical system signals a beat too early. They can be caused by a wide range of factors including stress, caffeine, smoking or alcohol consumption, certain medications, and even some underlying medical conditions. In general, extrasystoles are harmless but can sometimes cause chest pain or discomfort and may affect your quality of life.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to see your doctor who can do tests such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) to determine the cause. Once the cause has been identified, your doctor will recommend a treatment plan which could include lifestyle changes such as reducing stress levels or quitting smoking. Medication may also be prescribed to help regulate the heart’s rhythm and prevent future episodes of extrasystole.
In addition to medical treatment, it is important to look after yourself and practice good self-care. Eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly can help reduce stress levels and improve overall health which in turn could help reduce the frequency of extrasystoles. It is also important to take time out every day for yourself; doing activities that you enjoy such as reading or drawing can help alleviate stress and anxiety.
Although extrasystoles can be worrying if they occur frequently or cause discomfort, in most cases they are harmless and can be effectively managed with lifestyle changes and/or medication. If you experience any symptoms of an irregular heartbeat it is essential to speak to a healthcare provider so that they can investigate further and provide appropriate treatment if needed.
