Strange chest feeling

Mental health
1

Hi everyone, 

I take Citalopram for anxiety and it is much easier to get through the day with minimal symptoms. The past two nights I have had a racing heart, I have an apple watch which I actually think isn't a positive thing as it means I can check my heart rate! When I checked this morning, there were times in the night where my heart rate was over 100 bpm, this is the second night in a row it has been like it. This is worrying me. I had an ECG about 3 weeks ago due to waking up in the night with a racing heart and it came back fine but I didn't feel the racing heart whilst having the ECG. 

I am concerned and am going to make a doctors appointment. Has anyone else experienced a racing heart throughout the night? It was over 100 bpm for quite a bit.

I also get a nervous/butterfly type feeling in my chest and the occasional pain there. Just looking for experiences others have had similar to this?

Thank you smile

Hi Rebecca thank you for sharing your experience, I am also not reassured and it’s just a big cycle! My health anxiety is all to do with my heart and it’s hard to think of other things xx
