Hi
I've been under a LOT of stress recently and I'm starting to worry about absolutely everything I notice about my body!
At the moment its a slow thumping heartbeat. I've had this before and not worried about it because I think its something to do with blood pressure.
I might be wrong but does your blood pressure drop if you stand up suddenly and then your heart pumps really hard to get the pressure up again?
What's actually happening (and it has been happening for years to be honest) is that I get a slow very hard heartbeat when I go to the toilet (i.e. just after straining).
It feels like its irregular and sometimes I also get a bit of chest discomfort as well.
The only reason I'm worried is because I'm not sure this is normal! I don't think its happened all my life, just in the past few years.
I know its an embarrassing subject but has anyone ever heard of or had this before?
It's probably really normal and I've just focused on it where I'm getting really anxious!
Thanks
