Physical Sensation in Chest During Anxiety
Anxiety Support / by decisiveNest9224

...See more Does anybody else experience a prolonged anxious feeling in their chest due to anxiety? It's kind of a pulsing sensation, a slight disturbance in the heart, like it can't quite calm down. Tuning into it, it feels as if I can feel my heart beating extra hard, not racing, but I can feel it in there. I suspect it's the same thing as the fight or flight response, but for me it feels like it's prolonged. I feel it every day, and as soon as I wake up, it comes back. I spend days trying to ignore it to no avail. I'm trying to just accept it and go with it for now. Curious to hear other people's experiences or strategies.
