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

& yes when i sleep on my stomach, i can feel it in my stomach lol. Its so weird.

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!"

Yessssss omg lol. I swore up & down it was gonna stop & sometimes I still do.

So how are you doing with your health anxiety?

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.

Wanna ask you something jessixa.Is there any specific location in your body that you feel your heart beat or palpitation.Is it your upper back,chest or your inner neck.Mine is inner neck or sometimes back of my neck.When lying down on a pillow sometimes I cant stand our neck muscle to touch anything,and strangled sensation all over my neck

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....

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.
