funny that I found this, I have been wondering if I've had the same things. it worries me like crazy and here I am , almost 3 in the am and I often end up staying up this late, afraid to sleep at times, wondering if I"ll wake up. I am not sure if I have the heart feelings or not, but every once in awhile I think I feel something like a little.. hard to describe it but it's just an uncomfortable, not painful but scary feeling.
I think I have become such a hypochondriac. my FIL died in January of a sudden heart attack at like 3 or 4 in the morning and sometimes if I feel pain at that time, I get scared...thinking, he left at this time, what if I did?.. then I got an earache recently, never had one before, wondered if it had something to do with dizziness I occassionally have. then I think dizziness plus ear pain, maybe it's a tumore and I neglected it!! I am so weird. I am having those little heart like sensations right now, I almost feel it in my throat.
You know, not too long ago I made a decision to eat healthier foods. I was really on track with not eating fried stuff, cutting out fatty and sugary snacks, etc. I ate more fruit, lean chicken and beef, stuff like the 100 cal snacks and such, and I started feeling so much better. I even lost a little weight, which I really need to do anyway. but the thing is, my little strange feelings disappeared. Now I've been eating badly again and here I am feeling all sorts of weird things. Getting anxiety again too, and it had really been under control. It makes me think that our diets have a lot to do with things as well.
I don't have a solution for you or anyone else, not even myself! I'm just glad I found a post where someone is having the same issues as me, because it really scares me, but it makes me feel so much better to know I'm not going nuts and others have the same issues. That is the thing, finding others that feel like you do so you can validate that you're not insane or weird or anything (like, how many times have you had to demand that someone tell you you're not going to die during a panic attack, just to bring you back to reality??? I do that all the time). Thanks guys.
