Answers:
i have panic disorder myself, and yes the weird heartbeat is totally normal!. i concentrate on mine too, and i think after a while you trick your mind into thinking it is beating funny!. which ofcourse makes all the other parts of anxiety trigger!. when i start doing this, i try to concentrate on something else for awhile and it goes away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Panic disorder can cause symptoms of irregular heartbeats such as an increased rate!. These are not heart attack symptoms!. The symptoms of a heart attack are pressure on your chest described as an elephant sitting on it, or shortness of breath, chest pain, and sweating with or without nausea or vomitting!.

Indigestion can cause symptoms similar to a heart attack!. In my opinion, your increased heart beat is related to your panic disorder, and you should seek professional medical attention!.

I think that what you have just experience is one of the symptoms of panic attack!.

Unless you have a heart condition, panic attack CANNOT cause you to have a heart attack!.

It feel unnatural because this type of heart activity is usually reserved for vigorous activity, when you don't notice it as much!. Hence, people start to associate it to heart attack!.!.!.when it just isn't!

If your still worried about this!.!.!.than i advise you to make an appointment with your doctor and request a full body check up!.

You could ask for an E!.C!.G!. to make sure the pounding heart is quite normal!.

To answer your 2nd question, its roughly the same idea!. Heart attack is heart attack!. Indigestion is Indigestion!. Do not mix them up!. You cannot simply have a heart attack just like that without an existing heart condition!.

Again!.!.!.see your doctor if your still worried about this as it will REALLY help you dispel all these fears!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your heart could beat slow and hard because of dehydration!. The more water in your blood, the easier it flows through your heart!. I don't know exactly what's happening though, so you would probably be best off asking you doctor about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
