pounding heartbeat keeping me awake
Posted: 01-19-08 19:21pm

Suddenly, I have become aware of my heart beating. It feels like it is pounding....like when you injure yourself and can feel the heartbeat in the injury. It keeps me awake at night and scares me. I also feel anxious when this happens and feel like I am having a panic attack. Anybody else know what I mean? And is it really a heart problem or could it be related to a back injury?

Are you simply sensing your heart beat or does pain accompany the feeling? Is this occurring when you're laying down? How old are you?

Nothing to worry about. It's just the pulse. If you concentrate, you can feel the pulse on almost any part of your body. I can feel it right now in my fingers, for example.
