How to calm down nervous system. - #20690

Based on the information you provided, the most likely cause of your 24-hour heart palpitations is anxiety and heightened stress, especially since you have been in a constant state of alert due to concern about a neck lump. Anxiety can keep the body’s nervous system over-activated, leading to persistent palpitations.

Restarting a hormonal contraceptive pill after a break can also temporarily cause palpitations, as hormones can affect heart rate and the autonomic nervous system, particularly in the first few days to weeks.

Drinking milk is not a cause of palpitations unless you have a known intolerance causing discomfort or anxiety, which is unlikely to be the main factor here.

At your age, with no chronic illnesses, this situation is most often benign and reversible. However, if palpitations: Persist beyond 48 hours,

Are associated with chest pain, fainting, severe dizziness, or shortness of breath,

Or occur with a very fast or irregular heartbeat,

you should seek medical evaluation promptly to rule out cardiac or hormonal causes.

Overall, your symptoms most likely reflect a stress- and hormone-related reaction rather than a heart disease, but monitoring and medical review are important if they continue.

Hello dear See as per clinical history it seems to be anxiety only Consumption of milk doesn’t aggravate palpitations Also even ocd donot directly cause nervous impact. Iam suggesting some precautions for improvement Avoid overthinking Donot stop medication on your own Kindly consult gynaecologist in person for adjustment of dose of required. Meditation will decrease stress. Do regular exercise atleast half an hour daily for strong mental health In case of no improvement consult psychiatrist in person for better clarity Hopefully improvement will occur Regards

Hello ,

Your 24-hour palpitations are most likely due to nervous system overactivation rather than a heart problem, especially at age 20.

Triggers include a week of stress, worry about a neck lump, and restarting contraceptive pills (hormonal changes).

Milk is not a cause of palpitations.

Slow breathing (inhale 4 sec, exhale 6 sec for 5–10 min, several times daily)

Grounding techniques (feet on floor, name what you see/feel/hear)

Avoid caffeine, energy drinks, excess sugar

Vagus nerve calming (cool water on face, humming, hand-on-chest breathing)

Reassure yourself: “Uncomfortable, not dangerous.”

Neck lump Often a benign reactive lymph node in young people; anxiety about it can trigger palpitations

Next steps ECG, review of contraceptive pill, thyroid test if symptoms persist.

I trust this helps Thank you
