Hello, I speak English not very well because I'm from Russia but I hope you will understand me. 3 months ago I started to pay attention to my heart, actually it makes me crazy that I don't feel my heartbeat, I feel emptiness in my chest as if I don't have heart at all. No matter what I do I still don't feel it. Even when I dance or walk quickly. Of course I was examined by doctors and had some tests, that was ok. Doctor said to me that I don't have any problems with heart. But I didn't believe him. It is so difficult for me to focus on other things in life. I am tired to check my pulse. Did anyone face the same experience?

Hello & Welcome
Isn't it wonderful that where ever we live what ever part of the world we can come together and relate to each other when it comes to anxiety
So many of us suffer with what we call Health Anxiety we focus on something and we start to fear something is wrong , we go and get reassurance and yet we still fear what if they have got it wrong this is Health Anxiety , nothing to do with anything wrong with your heart but to do with Anxiety has found a way to control you through fear there could be
You have to really try to cast those thoughts out , find some distraction techniques so your mind is not focused in on your heart and hopefully this will help
Your English is perfect Better than some of us that are English and never worry about posting or replying because we will always be able to tell what you are wanting to say x
Stop checking your pulse. Doing this only makes you more anxious. Trust your doctor. If he said you heart if OK, then it is. If you didn't have a heart or a heart beat, you would have been dead a long time ago. Further, if you didn't have a normal heart beat you would not be able to dance or walk quickly. You are suffering from health anxiety. This is a very painful condition. xx
Yes, you are right. I am tired so much of my thoughts, I want to kill my mind. I can't enjoy my life because of this anxiety. I can't go out for a long time.
No my heart beats really fast nearly all day it’s horrible xx
I wonder why you dont feel it when you're dancing? I was surprised at that💃🕺
