Hello! Has anyone experienced hearing and/feeling their heartbeat in one or both ears? My anxiety has been fine for about a week and now this pops up. I also have a headache. It’s beginning to make me panic. 😔

I think anyone who tries hard enough, can hear/feel their heartbeat in an ear - especially if your head is on a pillow. Don't worry about it. Take slow breaths, distract yourself, and don't focus so much on your bodily feelings. And take what you'd usually take for a headache.

I’m not trying to hear it. It’s just there. Pulsating. Kind of like a swooshing sound of blood flowing. I can hear it and feel it right now. It just makes me anxious because it triggers my health anxiety and makes me think the worst. Blood clot, aneurysm, tumor. And googling is the worst.

I hate it. I’m so hyper vigilant with every body pain or sound.

sounds are mostly good signs. wind, snort, gurgle, swallow, heart beat, inhalation of breath, cartilage clicks these are stock standard. my ribs creak, cartligile from arthritis crackles in neck. pain in feet from diabetes, neuropathy and from calcified tendons. Just the process of our bodies. we renew, age, deteriorate.
use a mantra, i am fine, this is a regular process or similar. HT

I'm guessing that you are a "Highly Sensitive Person" - I am also. It's been found that we make up 15-20 percent of the population. Look it up - there are books written about us. One is "The Highly Sensitive Person" by Elaine Aron, PhD. Intriguing reading. One of the many traits of a "HSP" is being more sensitive to bodily signs and symptoms. We are also more sensitive to pain, and more sensitive to medications.

I can hear my heart beat when my blood sugar gets too low. It is freaky.

Best wishes, I hope it stops. Maybe try to find something to take your mind off of it.

Hugs, Karen...
