Just know the palpitations cannot physically harm you. Just tell yourself it's your anxiety causing it and they will go away. The heart is a very strong muscle And little heart palpitations don't even phase it.

I have this as well. Have you tried deep breathing? Its a miracle worker for me! Try breathing in through your nose for 3 seconds, hold it for 2 and out through your mouth for 3.
Sounds ridiculously simple but it really does work for me :)

Could you try to keep your focus on something else? Palps used to get to me before but now I barely mind them when they come. I know that nothing is going to happen so there's nothing to be afraid of.
