heart pounding without pain but with panic feeling Posted: 01-18-08 00:15am
Does anybody else experience bouts of
heart pounding, no pains but feel panicky.
Sometimes it happens when I lay down at
night or when I am just relaxing and can
go on for an hour or more. It feels like
I can't get oxygen in but think maybe that
is the panic aspect of it.

Hi,
Yes, I had the exact same thing happen
during menopause. I would be just
relaxing and my heart would begin to pound
and really beat fast. I would feel
panicky and anxious and I also would have
shortness of breath. It would take about
an hour for me to calm down. It's amazing
how our hormones and affect so many things
in our bodies. I also would wake up out a
a sound sleep with my heart racing. I am
about 3 years post and things have really
settled down. Be patient.
