Palpitations when swimming ?

Question

Hey i get palpitations when swimming like 1 every few minutes or so but i dont get palpitations when i do other exercise. does anyone know why this happens when swimming ? I also have generalised anxiety and sometimes get panicky. Just wondered if it could be related to that although i would of thought it would happen during other exercise

thanks

Answer 1

do you enjoy swimming is the first / you have to ask do you like it are you good at it can you swim well or are you scare of the water or just dont like being in the water sometimes if you ask yourself that? the answer is in rom of you b ecause anxiety is related to something you dont want to do or feel you cant do or scared of so its just a simple ? that only you can answer if not you might like to seak help from you family doctor maybe deep down your not a water person  

Answer 2

hey hun.... i get those too, and i also have anxiety.. it is most likely related to your anxiety... but ppl also get them thru excercise as well. i did research online cuz i have been really worried about these... they are generally harmless, but if you are worried get it checked out.. but i think you're fine. i get them alot when i am stressed and uptight or worried about it happening again.
