I suffered through a bout of depression which I have mentioned before, here on the forum. It's horrible and seems to be never ending, when you are in it. Mine lasted for 3 years, many years ago, but I remain vigilant about the signs of depression as it can recur. People who have not experienced depression cannot hope to understand why a depressed person cannot simply "smarten up" or "get over it". It may take medication and/or counselling to get beyond it, but it is possible. I hope I will never experience it again!

Years of depression, treated with some mild anti-depressants, currently with 5-HTP.
Apparently, the heart palpitations are the result of anxiety, and there is plenty of that.

My cousin recently had "ablation" surgery, which zapped some electrical charges that caused her heart to beat up to 200 beats per minute. She was hospitalized, finally, when she couldn't get it down after 2 hours of "home remedies" she had been advised to try. In the ambulance, she was given two doses of a medication, the first having no effect at all. The second dose worked, actually stopping her heart beat immediately (a very strange feeling, she says). Then it resumed at a normal rate. She was home for no more than 3 hours when she had another episode, and that put her in the hospital, with the subsequent surgery. She has recently quit smoking and her doctor was so happy to hear that he gave her a huge hug. :D
If you don't mind my asking what your diagnosis is, I'll ask my cardiologist about that. EKG, xrays, and bloodwork are "normal", so this is really creepy, though it has abated over the past week, thank you Lord.
