Keep finding im getting this thing where say right now im just sitting typing here and all of a sudden it feels like my heart is slowing right down and I feel weird, like it's not long enough to make me pannick but its the type of thing where if it lasted longer i'd pannick, but its like it slows right down and then speeds back up to normal again. Is this anxiety attack?

No mate, an anxiety/panic attack is a lot worse, I had one couple of days ago and thought I was gonna die. Google it, you'll see what the simptoms are.

When you say you feel "weird", what do you mean? Try to describe the feeling.

no mate think your heart is just missin a beat or something and you are concerned when it happens , i get this now and again with my heart flutterin nothin sinister tho, I HOPEOOOOOOOOOOOO

It's hard to describe the feelin, it's like erm sort of like if your going into a mini shock, like if you were in a plane that was about to crash your whole heart drops. but it's just for like a second.

you ever had an ECG?

BADASSMASS

sounds like a palpitation, do you sort of feel it in your throat and then feel your heart thud?

I have to batlle with panick attacks they have ruined my life tbh but just got to battle on and remember in my head its only a panick attack and I will be ok!

SK-XO

Not on any gear, never have been. ECG?
erm not really it's just weird, not any pain or anything, it just feels like everything is sinking, slowing down and then goes back to normal again.

Electro cardiogram, shows the pattern of electrical impulses from
your heart, will show if you have palpitations or if your fibrilating - probably not the latter, unless you're having mini heart attacks.

If in doubt go see your doc mate

i had one about 3 weeks ago, i felt like i was going to die, my face was all tingly and i felt like i was going to pass out at any minute, i had to keep moving too... freaked me out and it lasted for about an hour

I've had panic attacks for the last two years and what you describing is exactly how mine started. I was sat at my computer and all off the sudden i had to get up and move away and my vision went to double then blurred. I'm almost over them now and only have one minor attack whcih i can control about once every two months. I dont know what started them but there almost gone but hell it has been a long 2 years. But if theres no chest pain in the centre and you just get panicy, dizzy, dead arm, feel like you heart is just going to stop then its proberly just a panic attack but in doubt get it checked out.

BADASSMASS

to the op it could be a number of things, panic attacks leave you with a racing heart, can make you dizzy and often you feel like your going to pass out or die, this is a result of sudden influx of anxiety and you should just relax and take deep breaths until it passes. A heart palpitation can be described in a number of ways as people have different forms, it can leave your heart beating fast, irregulaly, or miss a beat and follow with a larger beat. The best thing you can do if your concerned is go to the docs and get an ECG, this will determine whether or not you have any underlying causes, but to be honest more often than not there isnt anything to be concerned about and your just told to ignore it and try to relax should it occur.
