If you were to tell this to a doctor, the next thing you would feel is a cuff expanding around your arm for a blood pressure (BP) test to see what's going on. And then perhaps other tests. The heart thing frequently comes with a sense of the heart beat and all those weird sensation. It does NOT mean nothing is really the matter with your heart -you get that checked.

But do this in an over-all context with the doctor -about the anxiety, the other symptoms, what's going on in your life etc. Point is, try to avoid chasing down individual symptoms as they come up -that's like herding cats. A reduction in alcohol, intake isn't a bad idea, either.

So -it is doctor time. Please let us know the outcome of your appointment.
