    I am always focused on my chest area I'm always feeling my pulse I just feel like there's something wrong with me I feel like I have heart problems but I'm only 35 years old and I don't know what's going on with me it's always tingling in my chest and when I exercise my heart rate increases and I worry and I just always am freaking out it feels like anxiety

      Go to a cardiologist 

      Ask for the M.O.T

      I did and it was really helpful went on the bike for 20 mins ex rugged me up to all machines did all the relevant tests had my bloods done 

      All came back AOK 

      he said my arteries are great healthy cole back in 2 years 

      Just ensure you stop smoking and rat healthy

      But go don’t live in a works of not knowing this does not help anxiety 

      You are thinking the worst go and put your mind at rest 

      Once cardiologist says you are ok then take that as you are ok do not dwell on it 

      Anxiety causes serious panic with effects so weird so your heart could be raised but it’s down to the flight or fight ad’enalin pumping into your body putting you in a tense and anxious mood 

      Relax the more you fixate and think about the issue the more you will fill your anxiety 

      Go to cardiologist il be interested to hear your next post once you have the info

      Have you tried NOFAP this is amazing journey for anxiety sufferers  it’s not just for sex/porn addicted 

      It has a way of balancing your mind clarity confidence positive thinking 

      It’s a natural process

    Hi Daryl

    It is normal for your heart rate to increase when you are exercising, it would be abnormal if it didn't.

    The only way you are going to get reassurance about your heart, seen as if you are worrying about it all the time, is to see your doctor. Once you are told that your heart is ok you can stop worrying.

    Anxiety will give you palpitations and an increased heart rate. Once you stop worrying your heart will settle down.

      Thank you thank you and I didn't mean to say exercising it's just I really feel strange when I first wake up in the morning when I take my blood pressure medication I feel a little bit more normal but I do think it's in my head I'm always focusing on my chest area I'm always laying down checking my pulse I'm constantly feeling a tightness never pain but just tightness in my chest area and sometimes tingling in my left arm and when I go for walks I feel my heart palpitations constantly even when I'm laying down I always feel my heart beating through my chest and it's not that it's pounding fast but I can just feel it physically it just doesn't feel right I've had a stress test done and they said my heart is normal so I don't know what it is do you know if anxiety can cause all types of heart-related problems and feeling things

      I too can feel and hear my heart thumping away when I have anxiety and when I am stressed. Are you taking any medication?

    Hi just wanted to give you some reassurance. I to have had many test done on my heart all normal I suffer health anxiety have been to er several times and everything is normal. Anxiety can cause many physical symptoms. For example when my anxiety is high I get same symptoms as you also I check my pulse a million times to. I know it's not fun and it's down right scary but try and tell yourself it's just anxiety I have been checked out and I am fine. This helps me and maybe it can help you. You said you were on meds for high blood pressure do you check your pressure at home? I hope you feel better

    This happens to me too. Especially when I feel anxious, my heart races like is going to stop. It is terrifying but if you get a heart check and is normal then you don’t have to worry about it. Anxiety can cause a lot of physical symptoms like heart racing, chest pain, shortness of breath, trembling , numb and light-headed. You are not alone ! Hope it helps
