    my heart is pounding...

    I had a cup of coffee yesterday early afternoon and I felt my heart pounding and I thought it was the caffeine... but its still pounding! I have been back strictly to this WOE for about 5 days now, please tell me this has nothing to do with that. I will cry! I am losing about 2 pounds per day for some reason so i added in more veggies and have 4 cups of salad a day becuase i thought maybe the heart pounding was due to losing weight too fast??? Any input here would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm sure someone else will be along soon to comment, but you might consider putting in a call to your doctor. Tell him when it started, what you were doing when it started, if there's been any change in the intensity, etc. I hope everything's ok.

      Its nothing, a little bit of stress going on. Try some deep breathing and sit quietly in a chair with some soft music.

        Make sure you are drinking lots of water, and as Dessertthorn suggested, sit wuietly, nice and straight, and practice deep, slow breathing. You are probably stressing out abput it and it becomes a self-fulfilling circle - the more you worry, the more your heart pounds. Try a pedometer with a pulse meter - I got mne for 1 cent (plus 14.99 postage)! on ebay. You just hit the button and stick your finger on the sensor for 15 seconds. This will tell you if it is really racing or if you have just become more aware of it beating.

        When I had my hearing problem I could hear my 'pulse' always in my inner ear. Once the problem was corrected I hardly ever hear it - only if I'm tired or stressed.

            Well, it has slowed a bit. Its not continous anymore. I only notice it 2-3 times a day, so I feel much better about it. Thanks for asking!
