Hi Sara

Sounds like classic anxiety to me, the heavy chest thing is so common.

Maybe you are stressed about hte breakup?

Anything else on your mind when you go to sleep?

I often used to be ok, but when I went to bed I was aware of my heart thudding away when the house was silent, and this used to panic me.

sometimes when I am falling asleep I hear my heartbeat in my head, its been happening for years, I have never worried about it, hope you are feeling better soon

I have same problem and it's my own fault. I was thinking 'what would scare me the most?'. I had problems with breathing, missed beats, palpitations, but they don't bother me no more, even though I have them everyday still. Now my new scare is chest pains/heavy chest, and guess what - I started to feel it, badly. Whenever I go to bed chest pain kicks in, I wake up with this heavy feeling, unable to relax. This is such a classic anxiety symptom, it's almost funny how easily our thoughts take control over whole body!
