What Causes Fear Of Ones Own Heartbeat?
Er...for some reason, I'm scared of my own heartbeat. Ever since I learned about it in detail in biomedical science class. The fact that it's there, pulsating, moving around a bunch of BLOOD, I just can't stand to feel my own pulse. Hearts gross me out, just,.....ewwww!

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
I understand that you are quite distressed by your recent problem. From the description of your symptoms, it appears that you are suffering from an Anxiety Disorder.
Since this is causing you so much of distress, I would suggest that you seek professional help. So, I would advise you to see a psychiatrist in your place for a detailed evaluation and further treatment. Treatment will involve counselling and in some cases, medication can also be helpful.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
