....lay down to relax, pillow propped up and think to yourself ok lets do this, enjoy a quiet moment. Then it starts. Boom, boom, boom. You can feel your heart beat on the back of your neck. Next you reach for your neck to feel how hard your heart is pumping. Slow but hard. Ok now im breathing shallow, i let out a sigh, then my heart speeds up.......ok time to grab a xanax and cross my fingers it all goes away.

Seems like everytime I lay down a variation of this kicks in. Grrrrrrr!

I know exactly what you mean, any time I focus in on my heart beat is triggers my anxiety, you are not alone. We are in the struggle together haha

Yep! And sometimes my heart beats so hard that I can see the shirt moving on my chest. Kinda freaky, but I've gotten more accustomed to these happenings!

Glad to hear im not the only one. When my GERD hit me in April I thought I waa going to die. Then my blood pressure kept spiking, according to my doc it was the panic attacks doing it from the fear of dying. I had every test in the book heart wise except where they actually go in and check your veins. I have accepted its not my heart. BUT, I still have my what if days. It just happened a bit ago. Got a shower and for some reason my heart started beating a little faster and here I am in a panic again. I didnt check my bp because last time it shot way up to 161/126 and im not putting myself through that again! I WILL be ok. Its NOT my heart but a little exersion and my mind playing me for a fool. Im going to relax for a couple minutes and let the xanax take effect and then go about my day. I hope :D
