Has anyone else experienced almost like heart palpitations? I genuinely don't know how to describe it, but I'm starting to learn how to be aware of my breathing and for the past week or so, my heart randomly feels like it's dropping in my chest. Kind of like a stomach dropping sensation? It doesn't cause me any pain. It's been happening mostly when I'm "air hungry" as Geopolis wrote about (here) but it's been all the time. I've actually been kind of scared the past few weeks when trying to sleep, because I'm so not used to being able to just...breathe. My heart rate feels slower and my breathing is less labored, but that feels like I'm allowing my body to give out! I know it's not, it just feels so unnatural.
But yeah - is a pounding heart a symptom of anxiety/breathing issues? I do have asthma but it's not typically an issue unless I exercise. I've also been avoiding talking about a lot in therapy, if that could also be a contributing factor.
