I'm really aware of my heart beat and it's making me anxious. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this? I'm feeling like my heart is racing and pounding all the time and it's really worrying me. Is there anything I should do to help me cope with this? Any advice or experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks.

It is normal to be aware of your heart beat from time to time. If you feel like your heart beat is more noticeable than usual, it could be a sign of stress or anxiety. Other physical symptoms like chest tightness and shortness of breath can also accompany this feeling. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s best to talk to your doctor to ensure your heart is healthy. Additionally, relaxation techniques like deep breathing and meditation can help to reduce your awareness of your heart beat.

Query: Why am I so aware of my heart beat?

There are several possible explanations as to why you may be aware of your heart beat. First, it could be due to stress or anxiety, which can cause an increase in heart rate. It could also be due to the presence of an underlying medical condition, such as an arrhythmia or a heart murmur, that causes you to be more aware of your heartbeat. Additionally, certain medications or recreational drugs can cause an increase in heart rate, and this could also be the reason you are more aware of your heartbeat. To determine the cause, it's best to consult a doctor for a full evaluation.
