Hi guys,
I have a few symptoms which are obviously worrying, though I know from various forums like this one that a lot of these symptoms are nothing to worry about.
I would like to run them by you guys and hopefully get some reassurance as I believe people who suffer/suffered with these symptoms have a better understanding of their cause/threat than a doctor is willing to tell you.
I have been getting some very strange flutter sensations, for example:
- Lying in bed at night watching tv
- Turning from my back to my side in bed
- Sitting down watching TV
At all of these times my heart feels like it is fluttering, I'm not sure if this is a heart related thing or a chest spasm. The biggest one I had just moments ago which is why I am posting this. I was sitting watching a video on youtube, very relaxed, no obvious anxieties present. Then felt this 'slowing' motion for a second, felt like everything came to a stop. Then felt the fluttering sensation in the middle of my chest, followed by electric nerve sensations around the face/body, following by a series of palpitations and then returned to normal. This is the biggest one as I don't think i've ever experienced the 'stopping' sensation that this brought before.
It literally feels like your world is about to end, and this is the immediate sensation not the one that comes after this that anxiety brings. So my question to you guys is when you experience these heart sensations is it a normal experience for your world to feel like it is slowing down and stopping? Then going back to normal?
I was actually quite anx-free all day, so it seems strange to experience this. Infact that's what happens usually, I may have 3-4 days of high anxiety, no heart issues, then the day when I am most at rest, I get the heart flutters. Is this common for this to happen when at your most calm? Seems strange.
Opinions welcome, thanks.
