I'm 19...I don't do drugs...When I lay down i feel my heart pounding, it seems to fast and strong even though I am relaxed. I'm not under a lot of stress. It seems like I can feel my heart beat all the time, what can I do? It is worse when I lay down...I have a hard time going to sleep.The doctor said my heart is fine!!! I'm still waiting for my chest x-rays and my blood work.

When people have heart problems, it is a common thing for them to be more 'tuned in' to
their hearts and feel every beat. I found I used to sit and listen to it and feel it beating
which caused more problems because if I thought I sensed a missed beat I would panic
and then feel my heart pounding harder/faster. I started to say 'oh just ignore it' in my
mind and force myself to think about something else. Just like hearing a clock in a room,
the brain eventually starts to ignore it. It takes a long time though but it's fear which
causes it in most people.
