Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
So for the past two days I have felt really sick. My stomach has been tender and even looking at food makes me want to throw up. I also had a fever. The morning that I woke up sick I also woke up with my heart racing and it really hasn't stopped since. I am able to calm myself down but it makes being sick so much worse. This morning I woke up finally feeling better and able to eat food, but I was sitting at my desk at work and noticed my heart start to race..it feels differently though. Almost like it is fluttering and I am starting to feel light headed and out of breath. What is weird is last night my mom asked me if my heart was fluttering and now it feels like it is....I didn't even think about her talking about fluttering until it started. Does anyone ever experience fluttering? Also please explain to me what it feels like because honestly I am not sure what my heart I doing. Also goes the fluttering make you light headed?
Most of the time, I do not have the symptom, but the fact that I am using so much energy waiting for it to appear or thinking about it that I make myself worse.
You may actually be having heart flutters. If you are still feeling poorly and anxious about the symptoms, I would go in for a sick visit with the doctor. I don't know your take on the doctors, but they make me feel better knowing that nothing is going on other than a virus or something minor.
Yes, I get heart flutters too and have been getting them a lot lately. Trying to think of how to describe it - it feels a bit like a skipped beat but more than that. It really is like a butterfly flutter more than a beat and it can be scary. I asked my dr. about it and also had the halter monitor for a couple of days and they said it was nothing to worry about.
Yes, the fluttering does make me light headed. I haven't passed out but I'm so tuned into my body that when my heart does that I feel like I could faint and then I'm fine.
I've had the flutter off and on since I was very young so I'm trusting that in my case it isn't serious.
Seeing a doctor can ease your mind. I call these "peace of mind" visits.
