A weight on my chest

5 Replies

Since yesterday I've been feeling like there's a pressure on my chest, out of the blue my heart just started fluttering and my pulse spiked. All I was doing is watching a series when it hit me. In that moment it felt like I was about to leave my body and on the verge of losing consciousness when I started gripping my friend who was sitting next to me, holding onto him for dear life and trying to tell myself it's all in my head and I need to calm down. It passed not long after, but it scares me how unpredictable these "episodes" become.

You’re not alone. It’s so scary when it happens to me because it’s comes out of nowhere and all I want to do is curl up into a ball. It always passes but it’s such a struggle

It's comforting to have people who understand how out of control it can be. It's so unpredictable and the worst part is I never know when it's going to be a real symptom of something serious which makes my health anxiety worse

Don't take it serious, be cool and just leave it. If you are taking this issue in a serious matter, then it will increase your stress into high. So be calm and cool. Enjoy your day.

Don't loaded more stress in your mind, this will cause more pressure in your body. Be cool , lots of time people are simply passing through this type of problem. Take it easy.
