There's no problem right?!
Question: Everytime there are sudden noises, it makes me jump. Like, I shake in my seat (kind of like a startled reaction), and it feels like my heart just jumped out of my chest. I don't know when this started, but I wasn't like this before. Every Little sudden noise makes me jump (I don't scream or whatever, but it startles me EASY). For example, my parents can in the same room as me, and I'm doing my own thing, if they ask my a question all of sudden (when everything's quiet) I jump. Or..(don't laugh) the toaster. When the toast pops up, I flinch/twitch hard (if that's the right word). I even tell prepare myself and I Expect it to pop up at sometime but it still catches me off guard.
I tell myself I just let my guard down and have a weak heart .. but this isn't any kind of ..syndrome or .. whatever, right? I get very embrassed in public when something like that happens. I can't control it. Anyone have the same problem?
Sorry if that was too long but I appreciate the help!

This sounds a lot like me, and I have an anxiety disorder. You could be on edge and have pent up emotions.
There are certain times or certain medications that can make hearing more sensitive, which can create an alert . Iv'e noticed this when I am sensitive to sounds due to med's. Are you taking any new meds? Even with antibiotics this can occur.
You probably need to take some magnesium- elevated startled response is a symptom of a magnesium deficiency.
A diet change will also help-- no sugars, no sweeteners, no caffeine, eating regular meals, etc.
