the first time it happened was 3 weeks ago. i went to the bar with frienRAB for a few drinks and came homeand went to bed just fine. I woke up at about 1 am with a pounding heartbeat, a feeling of unease or dread, and a feeling that i can best describe as my chest caving in. ( like if you ALMOST get in a car accident but there is no impact... the light, fluttery feeling afterwarRAB.)
it lasted about 3 hours. I sat up all night because i thought if i went to sleep i would not wake up.
the weirdest part is my heart rate is absolutely normal. i usually go about 80 bpm. but i feel like blood is rushing and my heart is pounding. I feel like my pulse should be racing, but it is plodding along just fine.
it has happened almost nightly now, and once at the end of a very long evening ( wedding we went to)
on a side note, i occassionally get a fluttery feeling in my throat by my sternum that takes my breath for a moment till it stops. so far these two symptoms have not ocurred with relation to eah other.
any input would help.
