My heart is feeling "Jittery?"?

still you should see a doctor so that you can get rid of these feelings.

If you are having "heart problems" you need to see a doctor or cardiologist. But for stress....

10 Simple Ways to Relieve Stress:

(1) If you're feeling overwhelmed by a stressful situation, try taking a break and listening to relaxing classical music. Playing calm music has a positive effect on the brain and body, can lower blood pressure, and reduce cortisol, a hormone linked to stress.

(2) Call a Friend

If you're feeling overwhelmed, take a break to call a friend and talk about your problems. Good relationships with friends and loved-ones are important to any healthy lifestyle, and there's no time that this is more evident than when you're under a lot of stress. A reassuring voice, even for a minute, can put everything in perspective.

(3)Talk Yourself Through It

Sometimes calling a friend is not an option. If this is the case, talking to yourself can be the next best thing to avoid wigging out. Don’t worry about seeming crazy, just tell yourself why you're stressed out, what you have to do to complete the task at hand, and most importantly, that everything will be okay (trust us, it will be)

(4)Eat Right

Stress levels and a proper diet are closely related. Unfortunately, it’s when we have the most work that we forget to eat well and, instead, resort to using sugary, fatty snack foods as a pick-me-up. Try to avoid the vending machine and plan ahead. Fruits and vegetables are always good, as is fish with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce the symptoms of stress. A tuna sandwich really is brain food.

(5)Breathe Easy

The advice “take a deep breath” may seem like a cliché, but it holds real truth when it comes to stress. For centuries, Buddhist monks have been conscious of deliberate breathing during meditation. For an easy three- to five-minute exercise, sit up in your chair with your feet flat on the floor and hands on top of your knees. Breathe in and out slowly and deeply, concentrating on your lungs as they expand fully in your chest. While shallow breathing causes stress, deep breathing oxygenates your blood, helps center your body, and clears your mind.

It sounds like the heart murmur my mother had from birth. There were times she felt like it was 'swishing around' rather than beating. She lived to be 82, but it was something she had to keep an eye on all her life. Don't let the Dr. pass it off as 'nothing' if it bothers you. Go to another. You only get one heart, dear, and yours is something special. Take care of it. I hate to say it-but the grasshoppers are better for you than Micky Ds. Coronary on a sesame seed bun, indeed.
