I'm 23 and just last week my bp was 149/90. I'm sure it was anxiety.
I was actually anxious about the pulse I could feel below my sternum. It was making a popping sound also!

I get this quite frequently too. When I sit down with my legs crossed, I can see my foot moving with my pulse. It can be alarming, but like other people have said, it's just because we're more tuned in to our bodies.
I get this too. I noticed it a few weeks ago when I was sitting still and saw my hair moving. Now I am aware of it, but only when I am not active. If I am doing something then I forget all about it. I am trying not to read too much into it. I did a quick search on here and found a few posts about it xx
Under no circumstances will I consult Dr Google for any medical advice whatsoever.
Vanwinkle, it's great to know that I'm not alone in this. Thanks for the encouragement! I've suffered anxiety for quite a while. My anxiety levels have been so bad at times that i have actually lost consciousness. I create anxiety over nearly everything related to health. Once I lost consciousness at the doctors office just having blood work done. Another time was in the ER when the doctor was giving his prognosis about my mother. Shortly after she began, I began becoming light headed then just went out. I'm under a lot of stress which seems to really help feed my anxiety. You're right, it is the worst thing I have ever gone through. This is my first time on this site and my first post and just reading everyones comments and advice has really helped me to tell myself that I'm ok. I found this forum a few minutes ago while doing a Google search about feeling my pulse in my stomach, chest and throat. Like I usually do, I automatically think the worst so when I found this forum and realized it was just another symptom of anxiety, I have already noticed the symptom dissipating quite significantly and now feel much better!! The distraction of reading and typing this probably helped by getting my mind off of it as well. I read your post and really identified with it. Thank You!!!
The way I see it is it means you're alive! I agree with the majority of posts saying you're hyper-sensitive and tuned in to it.
Good Luck!

Hello,
I actually do feel my pulse everywhere in my body, as soon as I lay down or stay still I can start feeling my heart beat. It is really annoying , as it distracts me from whatever I'm doing.
I used to suffer from this condition when I was in high school for 2 years and as soon as I went to university it went away, but for some reason it came back.
I wonder if u feel a contraction at your testicles with every heart beat? Because I do and as a result whenever I urinate white penile discharge comes out, and it is driving me crazy!!
Hey, I feel this too
I think when people say it goes and comes back, its just you noticing it and focusing on it more than when you're busy or not at rest.
Trust me, I have big heart fears (my dad had a heart attack a couple years ago) so my GP will always give me EKG or stuff like that to set my mind at ease. He says that its completely normal to feel it in other parts and strong.
Also, a weird one, when I lay down and watch tv sometimes I will rest my arm above my head and grab my hair, and I will feel the pulse in my fingers as they are grasping. So weird!
I got this for the first time whilst I was in hospital after having my 3rd baby. I had a c section had an ecg everything was fine (try telling that to a hormonal sleep deprived new mummy!!) It happened again last weekend again whilst I was in hospital, but this time I was staying there to be with my daughter who had just broken her arm! I must panic when im in hospital staying over. Luckily it didn't last very long as I moved my mind on to why I was there and there was nothing wrong with me!! Its a horrible sensation!! I get a rapid heartbeat after napping in the afternoon. I have no reason to believe its my heart as I can do a gym session and live to tell the tale! Just another one of those anxiety symptoms!
im guessing you mean falling feeling in the tummy yes i get that mines the upper part of tum really feels rotten i think its a flash of adrenaline i also get the pulse thing i think we are all highly sensitive i wish i could unplug my nerves lol
