Heart Slowed Way Down,3rd Time Happening From Lat 1 Year,22 Year Old,5 8 Height.under Went Check Up,normal Report.Any Suggestion?
Today my heart slowed way down it almost felt like I was short of breath and there was pressure on my chest. I felt like everything was in slow motion really weird feeling. This is the third time this has happened to me in 1 year . The first time felt like it lasted so long like 8 sec these last two times were just a few seconds long. I am 22 years old 5'8" and weigh 125lbs I would say I'm healthy I work out at least 3 times week. I've had doctors listen to my heart but they don't detect anything wrong well because this doesn't happen all the time just randomly. every single time has been when I'm just relaxed not stressed no anxiety I don't understand please help!

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Panic disorders can occur in the absence of anxious states or stressful situations. The experience that you had is called as derealization in which surrounding appear unreal.
Still you should ask for a 24 hr ECG monitoring and an EEG test. However Panic disorder is still the primary diagnosis.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
