Suggest Remedy To Overcome Fear Of Heart Stopping To Beat
I recently had a baby so not sure if this is due to lack of sleep or because I'm a worrier and anxious person but some night I get woken with a feeling like my heart is going to stop I have no pain no shortness of breath just a feeling of being scared and that I'm going to die I had a c section and was monitored so I'm sure if I had a heart problem it would of shown up I had a ECG 3 yrs ago and that was fine as I suffered panic attacks back then

HI
Well come to HCM
This was not heart beat stopped, but this could be due to phobia, depression, some time may be apnea, if this goes on happening on and often then this need to be investigated and for that get done the EKG and ECHO else this is nothing to worry, take care and have a nice day.
