    it’s very common in people who have anxiety to experience what you are experiencing. The sinking feeling, the palpitations, etc.

    please Do not Google your symptoms. You’re going to scare yourself for no reason! None of that will pertain to your individual situation.

    The more you worry the more you are going to have the palpitations. the palpitations are just a release of adrenaline and are not harmful. it does not hurt the heart. many people on this site have had palpitations as well as the sinking feeling of the heart. I have also had them.

    Think if there’s anything going on in your life that is causing you anxiety. Sometimes we have an underlying anxiety and then all of a sudden these weird sensations pop up. if there’s any way to resolve situations in your life causing you anxiety, that would help a lot.

    everybody should have a complete physical check up at least once a year. So if you haven’t been to the doctor recently or within a year, I’d be a good idea to have a check up.everything will work out.
