Anxiety makes me chest/heart cautious

[betu_b]

Dear All
I have been facing this concern now more then 3 years whereas I feel anxious about heart all the time.
and one of my hand used to be on upper chest which some times look embarrassing

My pulse is normally 60-72 and BP used to be 140/80

sometime I feel I am having sharp pain in chest area which gives me nervousness , is there any way to take this thought out

Dear CHrissy
Do you all the time think about your health and heart ., that is what is being happening with me,
I have a tendency to take deep breath to satify myself and I feel that there is no breathing happing properly
again whenver I heard about an desease I think I am going to have that .
Some time I try to manage it by keeping my mind in something else

I too CONSTANTLY worry about my heart. I have chest pain and heart palpitations ALL day long. I've had tests they kept coming back normal so I think (I really hope) its just anxiety. My pulse, or heart rate, is much higher than yours however. My resting heart rate is about 100 b/m. I can completely relate with the whole hand on upper chest thing. Mine hand is like always in my shirt to see if my heart is doing anything funny or if its beating too hard. My chest pain/racing heart makes me so nervous I cant even describe it. I'm so sick of it. I would go to your Dr. and try and get some meds to help, and learn some relaxation methods. I just started taking Prozac yesterday so I can't say if it works or not yet.

It sounds to me like you are having anxiety issues.I also experience chest discomfort and heart flutters.My chest discomfort is pretty much gone but I still have some of the flutters,especially now right before my period!!All I can tell you is to try relaxing and breathing,it helps me sometimes.
