Need to get focus of heart

[Jodz]

Hi all , off late my anxiety hasn’t been to bad but I have woken this morning feeling very sick and my heart pounding , not racing but thumping and it feels like it’s skipping and jumping so I check my pulse and it’s ok . My throat feels fluttery and I keep checking pulse and heart rate . Arrrgggh how do I stop this . Any help please

It’s driving me insane , just not stopping the thumping . Swan01 does your heart feel like it’s skipping and jumping as well ?

I was feeling that yesterday without the flutters. It feels like a tickle like something is stuck there like butterflies flapping away in there

Yep and hearing my heart beat in my ears atm 😩

This is anxiety ? That's what I always ask , it's so hard to believe

[Jodz in reply to Hidden]

It is hard to believe as I have been so good .

That’s what I always ask too! I think I know the feeling you’re describing. When my anxiety is high, it feels unhealthy like something is definitely wrong with my heart. It feels fluttery, skips beats & is quick to race up too fast if I do anything at all and randomly in the night. It’s uncomfortable and difficult to ignore so I check my pulse a lot (until I made myself stop checking it) especially if back to back flutters, to make sure it’s in a normal rhythm. I do think it is related to stress & anxiety. I’m doing better but I’ve been struggling with anxiety for a couple of years and although I have yet to have a perfectly normal heart, it feels much better and less erratic. As your body calms down, so will your heart.
