So I have what I believe is a heart murmur or some kind of heart problem. From time to time I have "mini-heart attacks"
I'm pretty healthy, I workout 3-4 times a week and I eat well. 185 lbs, 6'1. I can run 4 miles in 37 minutes. I'm healthier than most people I'd say.
I've noticed that they are gradually increasing in magnitude. The other day I was on the train and one started, it was much longer than any other one. Maybe a full ten seconds. For the first time I felt a little light headed because of it. They always seem to happen at time when I'm laying down, or sitting not doing anything in particular. Never when I'm exerting myself.
When I feel them I just kind of calm myself and rationalize that the worst thing that could happen is that I'll die, and I was already going to do that anyway. I'm more afraid of losing my mind than dieing. Though I'm not thrilled.
I have this feeling. That these things are going to just kill me one day. Since I was a child, I always thought I would die by age 35. I don't know where this number came from, but it feels like it's written in the rules of the galaxy. That's just when I die. I've kind of accepted it.
Does anyone else have these? I don't feel a sense of urgency really. I know that my "Prophecy of death at 35", is most likley malarkey, but I feel if these where to increase by say, 10-15 times in strength, I'll die.
I have one maybe, 1-2 times a month. Sometimes they feel like they aren't going to end. But then they do.

go to a cardiologist

oh and those could be panic attacks and not mini heart attacks, but they could be mini heart attacks so still go to a cardiologist
the part about losing your mind is more panic-esque. a full heart attack would feel like an unbearable pain in your chest
all of this points to going to a damned doctor and not /adv/

I've had panic attacks. Those put me in a totally different mental state and I break out in a cold sweat. I've had two of those, but those were brought on by clear stressful life things.
These are like "Sitting doing whatever, and oh shit what's going on with my heart, feels like its going in slow stronger throbs". It's not a pain I'd say, just like a feeling higher than normal heart rate at a time when you aren't doing anything physical, and more of a throbbing rate than when I exert myself. It's like the feeling of almost choking when you swallow something, but then it swallows okay after all: except in your heart.
I'll get it looked at. Is there a way to know if these are common normal palpitations?

that sounds like a palpitation to me
you're supposed to report those if they increase in frequency
>>
>>17410926
Id say they are pretty regular, maybe 1-2 times a month

Yes, go to a damn cardiologist and get yourself checked out.

>>17410932
is that an increase from none? I usually have none, even with a branch block.
I hear from a lot of people including doctors that they often coincicde with high anxiety.

Ever tried taking mildronate?

Here is a really bizarre, off-the-wall idea, to try if all else fails.
See a doctor. Take whatever tests are suggested. And believe what they tell you.
(I told you it was a weird idea. That's why it never occurred to you.)
