for about a week and a half now I have been having an odd feeling in my chest, where it feels like there is a thump in my chest. When the thumping feeling happens it also feels like my heart skips a beat but continues on like normal soon after. Today however, at a party, I was feeling a little anxious and antsy and the thumping feeling happened, and when I stood up it felt as though I was being submerged in water, and I began to get an odd tingly sensation in the back of my head. I checked my blood pressure and it was 137/88 and my pulse was 131. I realize this might be because right after this all happened i promptly began to stress out and feel even more antsy, but even now I still feel a bit jittery. I'm just wondering if I should make an appointment to get this all checked out or if anyone else has experienced this and have some advice. Thanks, any reply would be much appreciated.
It sounds like anxiety to me. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. It makes my chest really messed up and sometimes almost like a nervous feeling in me.. you know like "butterflies"? I get jittery and jumpy and very very emotional because when asked "whats wrong" because in the moment I don't know whats wrong or whats happening or why. It can come out of nowhere and at any time. I find it really affects me at night.
I would suggest talking to your doctor about it for sure.

Since you know a lot about anxiety, I wanted to ask you if you know if I have it. I'm 18 years old. I dont want to ask my mom because she may just say I don't have anything. When I'm out in public, I can't be out long or I start to feel funny and not right. A couple times I felt like crying for no reason really. Other than I wanted to go home and be alone. I constantly bit my lip and cheeks. If you could help me too, that would be great!!
You could have social anxiety, or even a form of depression. When i get into a really bad depression I want to be at home all by myself.
Anxiety works in different ways for each person who suffers from it. When I am suffering really bad, I NEED my boyfriend with me. I NEED him to hold my hand if were out in public.. I try to hide behind him, I hide behind him at cash registers so I don't have to talk to anyone and I hide so I can convince myself they cant see me.. Hes like my security blanket. Sometimes I panic walking across bridges that go over a busy road, with my little girl, I freak out that she could get hurt, the bridge might collapse... its the most horrible feeling ever. I would tell you to speak to your doctor about what happening to you.

I dont have a fear of something bad happening to me really. i just dont like to be around people really.I used to have pretty bad depression until I met my boyfriend. When I had really bad depression, I closed myself off from everyone. I also got teased a whole lot. Even now, I have depession but its just not bad. Once in a while ill have bad thoughts or cut. I think the two are relate. For the both of us. I ended up telling my mom and she listened and seemed to understand. Im going to tell her that i want to go get it checked so I can really know whats going on and see what i can do to feel better about things
