Heart problems or gerd.

[Adamj]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone getting the feeling of like bubbles in their center of chest kinda feels like they pop. L And then it will stop then I start thinking about it I think it's my heart and then start freaking out and can feel my heart beating in my chest because I'm focusing on it and feel like it's beating to fast and then I think it skips a beat. Then start taking my pulse. I have gerd and was wondering if anyone else with anxiety has this problem I mentioned. I'm always worried about my heart and checking my pulse. Always thinking I have a-fib or having a heart attack a clogged valve. I'm only 16. But every time my any of my doctors listens to my heart he says it sounds perfect.

Hi Adamj, It sounds more like air bubbles forming from being so anxious. Of course the minute you start focusing in on it, you turn your attention to your heart. Having A-Fib (which I have) or a clogged valve/artery does not present with the feeling of bubbles in your chest. Adam believe your doctor when he says your heart sounds perfect. The stethoscope doesn't lie. Take it easy.

Thank You, I feel like im such a hypochondriac. Health anxiety just takes over most of the time. And then the more anxious I get the more I notice everything. Drives me nuts. And then I get stressed because im so upset im going through this. And all the physically symptoms get old. But it's a learning processes have good days and bad days slowly starting to learn to cope.

Good for you Adamj, it is not an easy fix when we have learned to focus into the negative way of thinking. Little by little as you start to learn to accept this is anxiety, your good days will more than outweigh the bad. You're doing good.

Yup definitely the over obsessive negative thoughts because I have that also with my heart, if I think it's beating weird or something or if I have heart burn I freak out and over think and assume something serious is going wrong with me when it's just the anxiety sending false danger alarms to the brain.

Hell im only 22 and I workout often, eat healthy, etc and still think sometimes I might have something serious wrong.

You'll pull through man, keep your head up !
