Worry About My Heart Day and Night Is That Normal

[timidguy]

I worry day and night about my heart.I worry if the beat is too slow and worry if its too fast ,I feel like it makes noises and feels like it might be extra beats and odd sounds.I have been been recently to a couple of doctors for checkups and other minor things,and i ask the doctors how my heart was.She said fine and your lungs sound good as well.I told her that I heard other noises and that my heart seemed weird.She told me that she heard was maybe an innocent murmur or tubulent blood flow but she wasn't concerned about it.I also mentioned it to another doctor I was seeing about another issue and he listened and said its nothing really.Im confused.Aren't doctors suppose to check these things with test? If they said nothing to worry about then should I be worried? I saw where there was someone else on here worried about their heart and no one really answered them..Is there anyone that might know this.Also I lie around alot on the couch and on the bed..is it normal to feel really tired when you move around after laying around alot.? Could they have missed anything when they llstened to the sound..Would they know without test..I hope someone will answer me here.I am new and not sure this is how this works,or is there a doctor on here that tells you ? thank

Found this info too...

Heart – beating hard or too fast
The sensation:
Your heart feels and sounds as though it is pounding unusually hard in your chest. You become aware of the heart's action and you fear there may be a problem with it. Sometimes it may beat unusually fast or feel like it is racing for no apparent reason.
The reason:
Stress biology causes the heart rate to increase. It does this so that the body is ready to take action. It’s like in drag racing, drivers get their RPM’s up prior to the green light so that they can hit the light with maximum torque. Since the stimulant hormone adrenaline, the body’s super fuel, is produced when danger is perceived, the heart rate is naturally increased.
Once the stimulant is used and eliminated from the body, the heart rate will return to its normal range. Moderate regular exercise helps to regulate this symptom.
As with all symptoms, when the nervous system gets sufficient rest, this symptom will diminish and eventually subside.


Heart - Irregular heart rhythms, flutters or ‘skipped’ beats
The sensation:
Your heart feels like it skips a beat or flops in your chest. It sometimes may feel like a tickle in your chest that makes you cough. If you take your pulse, you'll notice that sometimes the beats are unevenly spaced.
The reason:
This common symptom occurs because of the high level of adrenaline in the blood. Because adrenaline is a stimulant, its high level causes the heart to beat irregularly. It’s this irregular rhythm that feels like the heart is flopping. While this symptom is not life threatening, it is important to seek medical attention if the beats become to erratic and remain uneven for a number of hours. For the most part, uneven rhythms are only experienced off and on during the day, and sometimes may only occur a few times in one day. When this symptom becomes more pronounced, irregular heart beats may persist for hours.
Regular exercise and deep relaxation help to minimize this symptom. Also, staying away from artificial stimulants such as caffeine, chocolate, high doses of raw sugar (such as pastries, candy, cookies, etc.) and smoking help to keep this symptom in check.
As with all symptoms, when the nervous system gets sufficient rest, this symptom will diminish and eventually subside.
