I have this really horrible feeling in my chest il just be getting on with my daily routine then all of a sudden I get this drop in my chest and it feels like my throat stops working and I can’t get a breathe out it’s the weirdest thing ever and I can’t really describe it but it just makes me feel horrible 😔. Does anyone else have this?

    When I have a heart palpitations it feels like that to me. Like it takes my breath away. Took me a while to figure out what I was feeling. I am not saying that's what you have.  Most people have a heart palpitation every now and then.  I get them a lot so I had my doctor check and did a heart monitor for a week ekg all that and it's fine just feels horrible

      This doesn’t feel like a heart palpitation as my heart doesn’t go crazy after but it’s a horrible sensation I just feel like my throat goes numb and I can’t get a breathe out 😔. It could be a different type of palpitation I don’t know 🤷???

      My heart doesn't go crazy I have PCVs i feel a missed beat then one strong beat so I feel for a second like a drop then a a beat. before I figured this all out I would turn into a panic attack now I just go with it knowing I should be okay I can have multiple in an hour at times and that's uncomfortable but if I just have a few throughout the day I'm okay. I take magnesium which has helped a lot and magnesium is great for anxiety too.   anxiety can cause so many symptoms.

      Yes I do think your doctor could be right. I know for me that after many test it is anxiety but I do have real physical symptoms and that can be a real struggle

      YES everyday however now if I take magnesium every day I do get less, it took a couple months to help. It is a daily thing for me but it seemed that I always have more in the evening.
