Hi Sue
You have just described something that i used to suffer with a lot. I would be going off to sleep and then i would suddenly wake up and be convinced that my heart had stopped beating. I would then struggle to the bathroom and still not be able to feel my heart beating. I used to sit on the edge of the bath telling myself that my heart MUST be beating because i was alive and i had got out of bed. If my heart wasn't beating then obviously i would be [xx(]
I do understand how you feel...it is extremely scary but it is our old friend anxiety. At the time i was getting this i was working in bereavement and suffering terrible PA.
Rest assured that other people suffer this too...you are not alone.
Take care, lots love Maddie ;)
Yes I do!!
I think I feel like that sometimes cos usually I'm so aware of my heart beating in all its peculiar ways, that when its quiet for a while I can't hear it at all, so then I worry about that too!!!!!
piglet apologies to her heart for being so judgemental
Love Piglet
hi Sue,
I have had this as well. It's just a result of us being so paranoid about it in the first place. Once again, it's just the anxiety playing tricks on us..

hi Sue -
with all the doctor shows here in the US I thought that every time I would feel that way I could put my fingers to my neck and check my pulse. didn't know what the rate should be but knew at least that I was still alive. sounds silly I know but it helped reassure me.
your friend,
Sandy

this is what’s freaking me out! I normally can even hear it with my ear to the bed. nothing! silence. anyone know why this happens rather than pounding?
