    yep happened to me many many times. When it’s due to anxiety it’s not harmful. Many people get this when they have anxiety.

    I know it can be scary but try to just breathe a little slower when that happens. Take long slow deep breath‘s in through your nose and out through your mouth as though you were blowing out a candle.

    This will calm down the heart when you do it several times. If you panic about it then it may feel worse.

    there are some great clips on YouTube about proper breathing with anxiety that you can practice then you will be ready for the next time if you need it. Take care you’re going to be OK.
