I might be a different case... but my 'weird heart pounding' started off of drugs. I took too much addoral (i'm not perscribed, but hey, i'm in college. don't judge.) one day and had a panic attack thinking my heart was gonna explode. i went to the doctor the next day, fearing i had caused some damage to myself. The doctor said i was fine, i hadn't even overdosed. Nothing seemed irregular. it's been about a week now.
I'm fine during the day, or when i'm not alone and thinking about it. but then the minute i go to sleep, that's all i can think about. i've never had any past medical issues, including insomnia. now, it's six o'clock in the morning, and i STILL can't sleep. no matter which way i lay down, i feel and hear nothing but my heartbeat. i try so very hard to control my breathing and tell my self that i'm just paranoid. But then i think, well, what if this time my heart just stops beatin?. What if this time it's different? Should i call the doctor? should i tell my roommate? is my left arm feeling weird? and so on and so on. i freak myself out into a panic and then i have to calm down. The cycle won't stop untill i just pass out in exhastion.
This is absolutly ridiculous. I'm a logical, normal person. i just want to be able to sleep. After reading some posts on here and doing some self diagnosis, i think i'm experiencing anxiety. controlling my breathing rarely helps. I've tried smoking weed, but that makes it worse and makes me way more paranoid.
I guess this post is useless. but i hope other people can read this and know you're not the only sane, normal person experiencing this. Maybe that in itself will help calm you down. We all have to keep telling ourselves we're not dying.
Hi i am 33 yrs old male from india and i have the same problem with me i feel pounding heart like feeling and some times dizziness also but when i take few medicines like felikita for vitamin B12 and, Etizola plus and Benalgis then feel comfortable plz suggest could i do the same breathing exercice to get rid off this scary feeling. I had consulted several neurologist, cardiologist and general physican but they told u have anxiety and panic attacks due to that it happens my CT scan of head, echo test for heart, ultrasound of liver, ECG reports are fine. I also use to smoking and taking alchohol twice-thrice in a week.
My problems started just after i stopped taking depression tablets i only took for 4 days , i thought at first these were all withdrawals , but withdrawals dont last for nearly a year know , it has got a little better in last 2 months , almost feels like if i dont get bogged down and listen to c**p i dont need to , i fell like i maybe can control it know , but then it just gets worse
it feels like i have had a nervios breakdown or have a brain tumor my symptons are these
1. i used to be able to feel my heart above my left lung , i know feel it in centre of my chest jsut below the last rib i can also see it cleary move wen i get ma chest out , god anyone can
2 ive had headaches like pulsating ones almost feels like my eye is pulsing , i have to almost rock to concentrate on suming else to forget about this sensation , the headaches manefest at the back of my head then move to both sides of my head , in the veins next to my temple ,they veins hurrt alot , u can see these veins pumping too , an feel them
3 i get weird sometimes , like it can strike at any time , it almost comes across loads of worry dizzyness, legs go weak , breathing gets hard, i start thinking complulsive thoughts ,
4 . i have a swallowing problem , almost like ive forgot how to eat , and now i eat by take a mouthfull of food , and swallow it with a swig of drench or oasis , this aint funny coz it takes me two bottles of oasis to get through a roast dinner , and i love roast dinners lol
5 my headaches almost feel as well like someone pushing down on my head or my heads in a vice
6 ive only had one episode were my heart has gone mental , but after 5 mins that disapearred that was before i went to sleep , and i was worrying about loads
7 . i get paronoid alot
8 my heart skips a beat , but not one it fells like it skips 3 maybe a flutter [thats very scary]
9 i get a clicking in my right ear almost like a pulse
10 , i get short on breath
sometimes get pains in the bottom of my back kidneys , ive lost loads of weight off my face
im 6ft skinny build weigh 10st , at 26
im scared i might be dieng hence why i want to but wont go to the doctors , i think its the fact of i dont understand my symptons myself .
I fell like i cant talk to anyone , everybody just laughs at me , ridiculous i know but its the world we live in today
some times i feel so bored liek constant bored every day every week every month , i live in a very stressfull house , so could i of had a nervious breakdown and now suffer from anxiety problems ????
to be honest with ya with some of the madness in my life , im suprised it aint worse
i jsut want ot get to the bottom of it and get my life back , be who i used to be
anyone help ? sorry if my spelling is untaward but my keyboard aint in the best of conditions
much appreciated to anyone that can help put my mind at ease - seeing most of these post and knowing that im not alone has helped alot coz apart from my swallowing wich i personally think is seperate from the other issuse

defo got the same problems , but do u feel ur pulse all the time say if ur not thinking of nothing just trying to relax on ur own , u basicly have to keep yaself busy to forget about it
I'm a 19 year old male i started having most of the symptoms you are describing when i was 15 my mother promptly rushed me to the ER when i told her my whole body was tingling i had internal chills but my body was hot externally i also could not concentrate witch was odd for me my brain started to feel like there were animals crawling around inside i started to hear and feel an high pitched "electronic whirl" in my brain my heart rate was changing wildly from very fast exhaustion rate to a slow painful chest crushing pain when i got to the hospital the gave me a CT-scan, EKG, x-ray, urine and blood work basically they tested me for everything and told me nothing except i had anomalies in my blood work that non of the other test could account for I've tried almost everything to get the strange feelings in my heart to stop(since the ones in my brain happen less often)but to no avail and just recently at the young age of 19 I've almost completely lost my sex drive and become exhausted with the slightest movements even walking to the bathroom wears me out i am way to young to be feeling this and i lived a pretty much healthy life since early childhood i just want to live my life and its impossible to do so like this
