How is your blood pressure? Before I was put on BP meds my heart at times used to pound real hard, I could see it beating in my throat, even feel a strong heart beat on the top of my head.
Thanks, trying to enjoy and forget about my heart even though I visit the forum a few weekly, lifes too short. Take care
hi tickertock, good to see you on, glad your doing good used to read all your post always enjoyed your advice you gave . have a great day . barbara ( used to be yellowrose)
I'll be 43 in a week and 2 days, Nov 3 and I have had this from time I can remember , I take a beta blocker and even when my heartrate is 60 I'm still aware of every beat , apparently its just part of my anatomy and that i'm very sensitive to my heartbeat, some people develop this , other apparently are aware from birth, it is usually a benign but very uncomfortable condition. Be well, just check with your doc to be sure.
This condition is common and probably benign. But very frightening, I am sure. I would go to your family physician and express your concerns and take his advice as to a direction to take. He will ausculate your heart sounds and will know if there are abnormalities and, if he believes it necessary, prescribe appropriate tests. There are several possible causes, a few of which may be an issue, but the chances are good you don't have something seriously wrong. You need a work-up at a medical facility to provide a definitive answer.
