Hey guys, I've brought this concern of mine on here before but I just wanted to talk about it again.
I'm not sure of these are palpitations, because my heart doesn't feel like it's beating rapidly but every once in a while I'll get this twitching sensation in my chest. I just got it today, and I had it the day before yesterday. It literally feels like when you have a muscle twitch, but its centred in my chest. When I do get the sensation, it really scares me and it makes me grab my chest, and I even feel like I have to catch my breath when it happens, but I think that's because it scares me at the moment. It literally only lasts a maximum of three seconds, but during that time I feel like I'm about to die :(
I really don't think its heart related, it doesn't happen when I'm doing any type of exercise and my heart rate is fine when I check it after the sensation happens. I find it mostly happens when in anxious, like the day before yesterday I drove to the mall with my parents (I'm a new driver, so I'm a bit anxious about driving) and we got to the restaurant and we sat down and I got the twitch in my chest. It seemed like a strong one, really scared me :( I also sometimes get it while I'm getting ready to go out, I feel anxious and it'll happen. Anyone else experience this?
