How many of you have had anxiety about your heart? I am currently suffering from that!

[magister_perotinus]

I have!

I think it's pretty common. When you get anxious or panicky your heart speeds up. It's an easy thing to notice and get scared about. It's easier for me now that I am confident that it's just anxiety. I don't worry much anymore about having a heart attack or cardiac arrest or stuff like that, but it still comes back from time to time. I just tell myself "I know what this is and it isn't life threatening. It's panic and when it's over I'll still be here."

I hope it gets easier for you too.

Sure have. Very common.
