I haven’t written in a while. But like 45 mins ago i was laying in bed. I could feel my heart pounding. Checked my pulse it was 96. I’ve been feeling nauseous and dizzy off and on all week. Checked my pulse it was normal 125/76. Started shaking and teeth shuddering. Pulse went down to 76 but still shaking. I don’t like this there is no reason for this
Screw your anxiety

This just happened to me. Was watching tv suddenly had a wave of dizziness (always a trigger for my anxiety btw) and started to freak out. Heart races and cold sweat. Laid down for a while and kept telling myself it is just plain anxiety. It does not need no reason nor invitation. I tried getting up but was stil out of sorts. After 3rd try, then now I am up and feeling better. Still shaky and on the edge but it will pass, sooner or later. You are not alone and we can only push through! Hang in there! Hugs.
I have just replied to another of your posts when I saw this one and felt like I had to reply. I have, looking back, probably suffered some form of health anxiety since childhood. I was always checking myself for signs of meningitis when I was young. Through my teenage and adult years I developed a new health anxiety around brain tumours and am now trying to battle with the anxiety of having skin cancer.
Thankfully, I have never feared problems with my heart, but I can associate with all of the symptoms you are describing. So I am just here to say they are all possible with anxiety. I wear a fitbit and am amazed at how high my heart rate can get when I am just sat down - all because I am panicking! Sometimes I get perculiar feelings in my chest and assume my heart is racing but when I look it isn't.
Health anxiety sucks but you are not alone in this.
