What is this?

[belle]

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?

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! :winks:
