chest rush

Hi im a 28 yearold male...im 6ft3 295 pounds...for month or so I have been getting these rushes through my chest as im about to fall asleep...and then I started thinking something was wrong with me so I went to er...the 1st er trip they said I had sleep apnia my chest xray and ekg cane back normal.

Then the next night my heart rate shot up to 170 and my gf said go back to er so I went to a diff one and they did an ekg blood work and chest xray. They said blood work and chest xray were fine...but this time my ekg was tachycardic(maybe spelled wrong) and I have an incomplete right budle branch block...so how could 2 ekgs givin 24 hours apart give 2 diff readings...and I told them about the rushes through chest before I go to sleep and they really didn't say anything on what could be the cause....I've never been diagnosed with anxity but im terrified and keep thinking sonethings wrong...

I think I know what you are talking about. I am not a doctor, but, I think you need to see one. If you have what I think you do, it's not deadly, but it is not good either. In my NON PROFESSIONAL opinion, you have a circulatory problem. I only think this because I have had that feeling, (if it is the same of course) and that is what was doing it to me.

The doctor is the way to go. As with just about everything, the sooner you catch a problem, the more likely it can be fixed.

I am hoping the best for you.

No feeling of passing out at all..except for the fact im literally about to fall asleep.
Its an adreniline rush through my chest,and afterwards im wide awake afraid to go back to sleep because I don't want it to happen again.

I kind of get a feeling, that you get a surge that is similar to when you have a dream you are falling off of a curb.

Is it more of a rush, or more of like your about to pass out?

It happens right as im about to fall asleep...like ill be right about to fall asleep and I get an adrenaline rush through my chest...the only thing I can compare it to is like the feeling u get when someone scares you...its really weird...im not on any mess...like I said when I went to er try said xray n blood work was fine just ekg was tachacardic with a incomplete budle branch block...and ever since I've been getting these adrenaline rushes I keep thinking sonethings wrong.

Can you please explain in more detail what you mean by chest rush?

Also, if you are taking any meds, can you say what they are?
