Feeling my heart beat when lying down is super creepy! I don't like it! I don't feel anxious, I feel like im in peace, but feeling my heart beat makes me anxious. It's creepy! I had a blood test and ecg done, it was perfect. 0 issues. A little overweight, but working on that. I just hate this feeling heart thing! I can feel it when lying on back or stomach... super annoying!

    Yeah this is by far my worst anxiety feeling. I am so much more at ease when i can't feel it but when i can? Omg. I become super aware up my heartbeats. Feeling every single beat. Its soooo annoying. It thumps so hard lol

      Funny irony here though. When I was worrying hard core about having a heart attack (about 3 weeks ago) I wanted to be aware of my heart beat! I kept checking my pulse, and liked feeling my heart beat. Whenever I calmed down I stopped feeling my heart rate, and I quickly started panicking, thinking "OMG IT STOPPED! THIS IS IT, ANY SECOND NOW I WILL COLLAPSE!"

      It's good. It can be better if I could go out and do something fun! But it's winter and it's -25 outside....

    I think it is related to vagus nerve coming from skull to internal organs in our body.I have the same problem especially when I am full and lying down.

    On a YouTube you can hear the sounds of hearts beating. Actually very relaxing. Also white noise annoys some but put others right-to sleep. They're all perfectly normal.
