I usually try to eat around 1500 calories a day. I have been losing weight off and on with a low calorie diet for about 3.5 years. I have lost about 60 pounds, and I am about half way to my ideal weight. It's going much slower than I want, and it's partly because I get heart palpitations and panic attacks if I eat less than 1600 calories a day for more than 4 days. If I try to eat less than 1000 calories it gets really bad.

Exercise seems to help a little to relieve anxiety, but I still feel my heart pounding slightly when I am at rest. When I eat 2500 calories or more my heart beat becomes inperceptible again. I am considering changing my weight loss program to about 2000 calories a day, and to keep increasing the distance of my walking or bike riding until I am at a nearly marathon level, so I won't need to eat less than normal calorie intake to lose weight.

This may be just purely coincidental and not really related to the number of calories you are consuming. Maybe there is some unknown variable at work here. I would advise you to speak directly to your doctor regarding your concerns.

I think you should talk to a doctor.

They might also be caused by caffeine intake, niccotine, or another substance. But if not, heart palpitations are a serious thing and it is best to be seen by your doctor.

your sugar level is probably too low.
