Silly question..or is it?

[bottleblond]

Hi everyone,

Is it just me, or during a panic attack, has anyone ever felt their heart beating on the right hand side? I get it quite alot and now i'm starting to panic about it incase i have some sort of heart defect.

Looking forward to your opinions!

I have had a feeling as if my heart is beating in my back which is very unnerving. Brandy Snap

Hi, i should hope my heart is beating on the right side, that,s where it is is,nt it. I t,s not a silly question, it does feel like that your heart is jumping out of your chest.

I wouldn't worry about it Blondie, I feel my heart all over the place during a panic attack, well done you though, being able to concentrate where you're heart is beating during a panic attack.

I am usually doubled up worrying were my next breath is coming from lol.

Mind u, they do say women can multitask, guys collapse in a heap during an attack, ladies have an attack while while putting lippy on and hoovering up

Serious though, the heart is flushed with adrenaline during panic, and when this happens the whole heart/blood system goes into overdrive. Thats why during anxiety attacks, u feel it in your neck, tummy all over your chest and back.

A GP told me that as I asked the same question a few years back, when I was stressing about having a heart problem.

Lisa it`s obvious you`re related to Dr.Who and have two hearts

Seriously, when that adrenaline kicks in you can feel your heart throbbing in almost any place you`d care to. How many times do I drift off to sleep with my legs throbbing with my heartbeat but I don`t think it`s moved.
