I suffer from health anxiety(or I could be dying-who knows?!) and get the 'usual' symptoms of fast heart, palpitations, tight, achy chest, etc etc... but today I can hear my heart whooshing in my head and I'm feeling a bit light headed-floaty.
Just been at a kids birthday party so was pretty anxious about that. I'm home now(just taken a beta blocker) and feeling slightly more calm but can still hear this whooshing heart beat. What's that about?!
Yes yes you are not alone with that! Me too. I can hear and feel all kinds of stuff. It is anxiety related, anxiety spikes blood pressure. Not uncommon at all. It can trigger all weird form of tinnitus too. Deep breathe and keep hydrated. When you calm down so does it.
i dont know what its about but ive felt it and in my stomach for a while at night i could feel my heart almost every where i thibk we become so much more of everything in our bodies when having a episode which sucks cause it only makes it worse ur prob thinking ur head will implode ive thought that before
meant to say more aware of everthing in our bodies
I'm lying in bed, heart pounding, feeling like I could have a heart attack any second. Got an ecg booked for tomorrow afternoon and I'm terrified that it's going to show up something bad.
Feel like screaming! Hate feeling like this all the time. My life is just an existence and my 3 lovely kids need their mummy back
Youll see the test will be fine. The kids will get their mum back. You need to get the anxiety managed better. You need to ask the doctor what to do to calm the anxiety. I have had that whoosing sound many mnay times. Im used to it it does go at times. Low salt diet definetly helps that. I sometimes get where my (both) arms go to sleep feeling for a minute or two then all is good. Not even scary just very weird. Anxiety just does weird stuff to us. But the whoosing i absolutely get. Along with other weird stuff. So dont get too over worked. You are hearing and feeling your own blood flow oddly. Loudly lol But thats what it is.
Thanks Lisa. It's gone 2am and I'm still awake. These heart palpitations are driving me crazy! Hope this nightmare ends soon
Hi I get the whooshing tinnitus, seems to be much worse when I am stressed. The feeling of your heart beat all over the place, I get this also.
Horrible isnt it. I often have episodes of fast heart rate, which usually only last a short while, but am going through a bad patch the last week, where my heart seems to be racing continually, only short periods of normal. Like you I cant sleep.
I have had a 24hr holter test all ok, so I guess its just Anxiety Again.
I am sorry I have no answers, wish I did.deep breathing helps,as does I find, Passiflora drops, takes the edge off sometimes.
Guess what Iwanted to say is your not alone, I feel just like you, and really dont understand my own symptoms at the moment, as they are exagerated, without reason.
Hope this helps a little x
You are not alone. These are common symptoms of anxiety. I will suggest start meditaion this helped me alot.
Hi,
I thought I msgd u but obviously not. There's a blood vessel that passes by your ear and that's the noise. It's the pulse of ur heart. I used to get it wen I was in bed as a kid. It was quite annoying but totally harmless.
