Hi kaaayla, because we are hyper aware of our bodies things like this happen to us, someone once told me not to think about a white elephant .... All I cud think of was a white elephant!! Some positions u lie in u can feel your heartbeat more so try a few different ones also I sometimes tap my feet on the bed or wiggle them to make myself rock a little it really does mask the sound of your heart beating try it, another coping method to take my mind off my heart rate is I take a show like Corrie and I have to name 10 people frm past and present with blonde hair then brown etc it sends u sleep belive me !! sounds like eptopic beats the pausing of the heartbeat these are normal everyone gets them they are just a vairation of a normal beat But again because we are hyper sensitive we are aware of them more and worry about them more xx

I'm gna have a mental breakdown my head feels like it's gna explode I can't stopping thinking about my body sensations no matter what I do I really duno how to cope with this. I feel like I'm dying right now and it's so scary I duno weather to call an ambulance or not

I've been there going through it at the moment with another issue, if you feel that bad that u think u need to call 999 then do but I'm 99 per cent sure you are in a state of panic and I know it's bloody horrible and scary, remember you have felt like this before and nothing happend we have all felt like this before and are all still here, your body is just reacting to what you are thinking, it's doing it's job xx

I'm trying to calm down I really don't wanna ring ambulance, wow so many symptoms are happening right now. I just hate the heart one it's horrible I feel so dizzy and hot. I have palpatiions all the time I'm scared iv got a underlined heart condition jusy bcos iv had a 6second ecg that can't tell nothing

Feeling dizzy and hot flushy is also a symptom of severe stress. You MUST learn how to ride these episodes out. They'll peak and then they start to dwindle. A psychiatrist one told me that the body cannot stay in a heightened state 24/7.

Learn some techniques to use ASAP and DAILY. The sooner you start re-training your mind, the better you'll feel. Make a personal commitment to start what might be a long term process ASAP. You can and WILL get better. Know it. BELIEVE it.

Sorry to go on about me. I really hope ur ok and u don't have to go through this as much cxx

[poodlegal]

I've suffered for 15 years iv been through this and worse it's horrible I've had 2 ECGs 2 echos 2 24 hr holters and they found nothing wrong just a fast heart rate and eptopic beats because of nerves and stress, I constantly use to check my pulse still do but not as much i fear my heart will stop i fear fear itself, I know exactly how you feel, hypochondria is a real phobia google it and you will see how real it is to us and it's a shame people label you when you have this, now be realistic If you were physically ill u wouldn't be able to type on your comp or phone would you? You are working up your body to fight or flight now your in a state of panic now you need to let it pass as it will do and u need to rest, I'm smiling while writing this because I'm amazed I can give this advice to others but never myself how r u feeling now?? Do u live alone?? Xx

I know exactly what you are going thru. I get little to no sleep at night or im constantly waking up feeling like my heart is going to explode. I agree with the listening to calming music. That's how I fall asleep now. I just youtube music for anxiety and breath and count in my head. Don't think about anything. Block it all out and just count. You will eventually fall asleep and hopefully stay asleep. You should really try it

[Kaaayla in reply to Morgs40]

It's so horrible feeling like this. I'm trying to just chill but my heart feels like it ain't beating right and I feel like I'm ina dream feeling again!!!!!!!.. Sorry u go through this also morgs it's horrible. I can't stop crying right now I really do feel like I'm dying I'm getting chest pain iv got so much fear inside of me it's so scary I can't shake the feeling off

[Morgs40]

Trust me there were nights when I truly felt the exact same way that you do. It's terrifying. I constantly went to the doctors and er just to be reassured that something terrible wasn't happening to me. My heart did the same thing and occasionally does now. You have to truly just lay and say in your head that you are going to beat this. Or listen to music. I also would watch videos on my phone. Do things that take your mind off of it. I'm not a very strong person and at the beginning of my anxiety I cried constantly and was so angry because I didn't know how to control myself but you have to know that it is all up to you and how you can manipulate the anxiety into going away. Sounds funny but sometimes I sit and think to myself and talk to the anxiety. I'll be like "you're not ruining my life. I will beat you". Put a face on it and cuss it out in your head or tell if you're gojng to beat it. You'll find something that will help. I know it's so incredibly hard to do but don't stress out even more. You are not going to die. You will be okay. I promise. It's scary. You can beat it tho. Do you have any xanax?
