For about a year or so I have been feeling my heart race and pound and it comes and goes. It's usually the worst at night when I try to sleep or relax. On rare occasions I also get this sence where my legs feel either real heavy or very light and I get dizy and neasus. Doctor told me I had vertigo and told me to take some Dramamine when that happens.

Well about 2 weeks ago I went out to dinner with my husband. That night I went to lay down and my heart started to race and pound like never before. I had to sit up just to relax. This went on for about 4 days. This was over the holiday vacation and all the doctors were closed, and the ER was solid packed. Well the other night, I was making dinner when I got nauseous and did not feel right. I finally decided to go to the ER. The did an ECG, Drew blood to test heart enzymes and took an Xray of my heart. The only thing I know is that my ECG was abnormal. While there I experienced my first full fledged Panic attack which really scared me. Anyway they gave me a prescription of Ativan. I went to my cardiologist the following day and he looked over the ECG and compared it to the one he took a year ago. There was a very slight change it in it so he ordered a Stress Test and a Sonogram. All came out fine.

I don't know what else to think. My family and frienRAB all think it's anexity. When I take the Ativan all the pains and issues go away.
 
Your EKG was abnormal at the hospital cause your heart was racing. When i went to ER for anxiety ( thinking my heart was about to blow up lol) my ekg came out abnormal, i think it was around 120 BPM. lol seriously, if you think your heart rate is fast try to imagine what 120 bpm feels like! I too had to go to a cardiologist and get all the tests done! only to find out everything was fine!

Just the fact that the results from the cardiologist and taking the ativan makes the problems go away should tell you that it is indeed anxiety. Some people just have a high hear rate. I'm actually on a beta-blocker for mine, mostly for the fact that i would drive myself crazy thinking i was about to have a heart attack, and just wanted my heart rate to slow down. Whats funny is my cardiologist told me that my heart probably was always like this, and i only noticed it beating so fast until i started thinking about it, which after thinking about it is 100% true, cause I saw some speicial on TV about people having enlarged hearts/ heart attacks, and that started my anxiety about heart problems.
