Hey guys,

For the last couple of months I have been experiencing a weird symptom.  When I lay down sometimes I get this weird vibrating feeling on the left side of my chest it’s in the are under my breast. It last one second there’s no pain but it does wake me up from my sleep, I get scared about it because I don’t know if it’s my heart but it doesn’t feel like a palpitation it’s more like a buzzing feeling. Also it only happens as I’m falling asleep.

Does anyone have this,

    This just started two days ago. It feels like my phone vibrating in my pocket, except that it is deep within my chest, just above my left breast.

    Came across this discussion while searching "heart vibrating like cell phone". Glad to know I'm not the only one. It happens mostly when I'm laying down to go to bed at night. I'm 41 , female, and have rheumatoid arthritis. I saw a cardiologist and had all the tests including wearing a heart monitor for a week. Zero. Nothing. That's what they found. That's good right? Still scary. Also, just wanted to add, this started after the second jab for me. May or May not be relative.

      Same here. I have been to one of the best lung/heart hospitals in the US for the past year with symptoms. The best I can figure out is that it is a Long Haul Covid symptom. They are trying me on some meds like Gabapentin and possibly Cymbalta as both are supposed to be helping with calming nerves down. We'll see. Hope you are feeling much better!

    I've been experiencing the same thing for about 5 weeks. It's worse when I am trying to sleep and is on the left side as well. I will fall asleep and it will wake me up within half an hour and this continues on for a few hours and then finally subsides a bit so I can usually sleep a bit more through the night. Definitely worse after drinking alcohol, and I don't seem to notice it if I am really tired. Had an ECG - normal, blood tests normal, waiting for a holter in September. I am 30 and just so over it. I have anxiety but I really don't think it's anxiety since it's in a localized spot. I am sorry that we are going through this all - I hope someone will have some answers. I did read that GERD could maybe cause it - I tried taking an ant-acid before bed last night and it didn't help 😦. I also can barely sleep and am at my wits end.

    Yes mine just started about a week ago. I washing dishes, I thought something was crawling under my shirt. I waited a few minutes and it did it again. Then nothing, for 5 hrs or so, then it started again just sitting in my recliner. I wasn't even reclined.

    Did you ever figure this out? I have constant 'buzzing' (along with shortness of breath and palpitations on my left side all the way down my leg especially when I lay down. It wakes me up several times a night and It drives me crazy! Doctors think it may be a residual symptom of long haul Covid but I am not so sure.. Anyone else out there with this symptom? Looks like this feed was from 4 years ago..

    Thanks and best of luck to all of you out there suffering from anxiety/panic. It is the worst !

    Yes! I have this right now. It's been going on for a few weeks. It's exactly as you have described it, except that it happens intermittently throughout the day, not just when I am falling asleep. I know your post was from 4 years ago but I'm hoping that you got a resolution? I'd really like to know what this is. I hope you're okay?
