In the last few months my health anxiety and general anxiety level have really flared up. I have never been professionally diagnosed but I've always had weird phobias and anxiety flareups since I was young. However, sometimes it goes into remission and I'm fine.
I got the swine flu in November and ever since then I've been pretty anxious about my health. I just feel like I'm not "right"
What's really annoying is that I get skipped heart beats. I've been getting them for a couple of years but ever since an episode last spring where they were coming very constantly for about 10 minutes I've been getting them a lot more. I've read several of the posts here and it's pretty much the same as many of you experience. The brief loss of breath, etc. I HATE feeling like I could just keel over at any minute! Logically I should be a very healthy 25 year old female. I am very active and often go surfing for hours.
Recently however, in the last week, I've been getting a strange sinking feeling in my chest. It's kind of a mix of the feeling you get when you're just about to fall asleep and you wake up, a startle feeling, and a surge of some sort. It's not a heavy feeling, just kind of a tired feeling, like my body was just about to fall asleep. This woke me up the other night, and I also have been getting it throughout the daytime.
It doesn't feel like my heart is skipping beats for these sinking feelings, though.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?
