It is vital to manage this stress by breathing and Meditative techniques.. Please seek expert help if you are able to manage on your own*were you ekg, Echo and stress test normal? *have you had panic attacks in the past? *any family history of heart disease? *have you checked your thyroid levels? *do the palpitations persist through the day? *how much caffeine do you take in a day? *have you ever passed out? I recommend :- frequent walks during the day (after your physician gives you the go ahead). This acts as a stress buster. -quiet time for 20 minutes twice a day (no phones, meetings,computers.music helps. -limit caffeine to two cups a day. -drink plenty of water-make a conscious effort to breathe deeply in and out. It may take a while for it to become habitual. Managing two businesses can't be easy and you would have to be in the best form to keep doing that. Take my suggestions seriously and it will help. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Wish you good health.
