Always paying attention to heart rate

[Lauren85]

Evening all,,

So it’s 1.50am here and Iv been trying to sleep for hours now, all day Iv been focusing on my heart rate as I feel my heart is beating to fast or has like some mad twitch, I keep thinking about it and holding my neck feeling the pulse. It’s driving me insane I can’t help but Focus on my heart. It’s scaring me 😔

Hi,

the best thing is to get your heart checked. If it is ok( which will be I am sure) you need to ignore it, do not take notice of it. I also feel my heart in my chest or head sometimes, but I just take it as it is without stressing too much. Our hearts know what to do.

All the best

Oh, I also take propranolol, which slows down the heart rate.

It helps with anxiety symptoms too.

Thank you for your replies, I have an overactive thyroid too so maybe that’s why it’s beating rapid too, I’m on propranolol 40mg 3x a day and they don’t help sometimes x
