I am sitting down, doing nothing at all when...THUMP! A massive thump in my heart area. No pain. This was yesterday. I've had it again on and off today.
Any ideas?

Panic attacks started in 1992. 1998 i became agoraphobic which lead into being room bound. Couldn't even get upstairs. 2002 i started getting better, able to drive and work. 2005 i became house bound again. 2009 i have been making SLOW progress, still not able to go anywhere alone, but my journeys are getting longer. No where near 'normal' but at least i can go out.

Hello bluebell,
I reckon its adrenaline because I get this feeling. When we're anxious we produce adrenaline because of the fight or flight programming from our ancestors. Trouble is we've nothing to bodily fight or fly from but the body still produces adrenaline which prepares our heart and body for action!
It's a bit like watching a horror film. This is why your heart pounds!
