I'm well aware of my heart beat

Hi so a new symptom showed up that hasn't showed up in since before I started treating. My heart which is kind of scary. I'm 22 years old used to be in top physical shape just throwing that out there to get some back ground info out. I also had an echo cardio gram done a few months ago to make sure everything was ok with my heart.

Anyways theses past few days I have been well aware of my heart beat meaning I can feel it and hear it more than I should it feels like it's pumping hard. It's not beating fast I keep checking my pulse and I always get between 60-75 bpm. My chest feels tight on that side like I can't relax and sometimes hurts it almost feels like anxiety. Sometimes but very rarely I reach for my anxiety pills even though I don't have actually anxiety and a quack ID doctor gave them too me because "that's my problem". But even that doesn't help very much. Sometimes it wakes me up at night as well.

My mom wants me to go to the hospital but I can't bare to go there pay the $1000 deductible just to have them tell me that I'm fine and when I mention Lyme they'll hint at psychiatrics.

So what do you guys think? Is this a co infection acting up? I don't think I'm having a heart attack as this has been persistent for the past few days think I would be dead by now.

Hi Tbrown2,

I am sure that someone will be along shortly to give you lots of info and advice. I don't have much information for you, but I can share that I also have this symptom. I take CoQ10 to help. It doesn't make everything 'normal', but definitely helps manage it. I take the stronger dosage capsule -- 100 mg. While taking this, I generally only notice my heartbeat if I am herxing.

Good luck to you.

I became overly aware of my heart 1.5 years ago. I had a monitor for 2 wks, an echocardiogram, and stress tests. all for them to say "oh, you have palpitations, but don't worry, you're fine". right. so, now

I am used to them too and I just learn to live with it. But I knew somehow that I needed that issue bc that's what has lead me to my own diagnosis mixed with my other symptoms. Weird beats. and hearing

the beat loud in the ears. It does bring on anxiety But you will be ok.

I wonder what is causing it Lyme Bart or babs.
