Hi everyone I'm just wondering is there anyone else that can be laying or sitting and be calm and actually feel your heart beating in your back? It's not racing it's beating normal just can feel it beating in the center of my back.

      I really do believe it's anxiety. Sometimes when your anxious your heart beats harder because of the adrenaline so it could vibrate certain parts of your body. Try to start using meditation and progressive muscle relaxation

    I can't say that I've ever experienced that, Pamela, but I think that some people are more aware of things that are going on in their bodies than others. I have read other people's posts on this forum and it seems to be quite a common phenomenon.

      Yes, quite common. I had continuous anxiety for 18 months, no relief. During that entire time I never could lie on my back or lean back against something because my heart pounded so badly that my body would shake to the beat. I could always hear my heartbeat in my ear. So nerve racking to count your heartbeat 24 hours a day. This is what brought about my heart/health anxiety. Ugh! But I am so much better now.
