![]() I have a very vivid imagination, and I just start thinking of a story in my head. I just literally pace and imagine something. But I don't think about impending doom, or everything I have to do. But another one was pacing back and forth, and I thought "Wow, I do this all the time!" I will literally just start pacing when I have nothing better to do. I went on this website that listed symptoms of anxiety and this was one of them. I just started experiencing this a few nights ago when I was trying to get to sleep, and it is freaking me out! I thought there was something seriously wrong with me! But I did some more research and found out that it most likely is, like what was stated above so many times, simply anxiety. However, to rule out any possible physical reason, do all the tests prescribed by your doctor and ask to be checked by a cardiologist. Note that anxiety does not necessarily have to be triggered by a conscious reason. Each time that happened, I felt so unwell that I had to go to the hospital and be checked. It happened again a couple of weeks later (much worse than the previous one) and again a couple of weeks ago. At the hospital they checked me and everything was fine: blood pressure okay (a bit high but okay), pulses okay, oxygenation okay. I started being anxious about my heart not working well. It happened all of a sudden - never happened before. The first time this happened, I was so scared that I could not focus on what I was doing, I had to leave a meeting at work and rush to the hospital to be checked. At times, I can feel my heart pounding very fast, and I can feel pulses in all parts of my body: neck, arms, legs, etc. You'd be surprised to know how many illnesses our mind can make up :) I've been suffering from heart palpitations for quite a while now. As someone else said: it's all in our head. Your pulse is one tool to help get a picture of your health.Don't worry, most of the times these feelings have no real physical cause. If your pulse is very low or if you have frequent episodes of unexplained fast heart rates, especially if they cause you to feel weak or dizzy or faint, tell your doctor, who can decide if it’s an emergency. Keeping tabs on your heart rate can help your doctor determine whether to change the dosage or switch to a different medication. If you’re on a beta blocker to decrease your heart rate (and lower blood pressure) or to control an abnormal rhythm ( arrhythmia), your doctor may ask you to monitor and log your heart rate.
