    Hey Guys, I am on my 75th day/streak and lately this week I started noticing a hard heart beat and a hard throbbing/pulse at my heart area to my throat. It goes on and off throughout the day. It usually starts to happen when I lay in bed. Sometimes when I sit straight with a straight neck, I feel pressure build up in the back of my neck, it feels like a vein is gunna explode i don't know why, but then I change the way I sit because of this. I didn't go to the doctors to get it checked out. 3 months before I had a EKG done on me when I first had my first panic attack and everything came out great, not a problem listed. I also have been running, playing basketball, and lifting weights for this and the other week, so I don't think I have a heart problem. I'm just curious as to if it is a withdrawal symptom. O and the other day I was watching a soccer game on tv and my heart was just rapidly beating and the throbbing/pulsing was getting harder and harder and I started getting alittle pain in my throat. I think I was worrying about my team losing and they did eventually. I was feeling really hot and feeling cold after. I cried that day 2 times because I didn't know what the hell was happening. Later that day I went to the store to get food and I felt drained and tired from what happened earlier. Felt sad too and had mood swings. It went away after the game ended which was 90mins. I think i was panicking or something. But today I was feeling normal, but the hard heart beat and throbbing sensation is still there from my heart to my throat. Im pretty sure this is part of nofap because I never in my life experienced this till now.

    Day 76 I've been feeling really tired and slow for a while. I've been in a laughy and giggly mood lately too. Some negative thoughts come and go. Hard throbbing and hard heart beat is not happening as of right now but in the morning it happened.

    I doubt this is related to your streak. Have you checked your blood pressure during that episode?

    Hi mate. Seems to be something stress induced. Do you feel quite tired or short of breath when you have these fast heart beats? If the fast beating lasts more than a few mins, I would try and get an EKG at the time you are having the attack.
    But congrats on the streak bud! Keep it up!

    For me it might be stress induced, antisocial when I'm in large group and must say something... my heartbeat on the morning lasts maybe 30sec and its gone when I wake up so I think its caused by PMO... :/

    Ill tell you one thing brother, these additction withdrawals have beat my ass to the ground, till i was covered in dirt and my mouth full of dirt. The only thing i never stopped doing was getting back up, everytime i was beat to shit by the withdrawals. But it is up to you my friend and the whole community on how we can handle its punches and swings. Ill tell you one thing, i wont never ever relapse and watch porn ever again. The shit is real, the world needs to wake up.

    Hey brother, no i don't experience shortness of breath and feel that tired after the episode. The weeks before i used to feel shortness of breath, but that happened randomly and was part of the withdrawal process. It rarely happens too me now.

    Day/Streak 80, feeling honored to have accomplished day 80. 10 more days left till a milestone. Im scared shitless right now. I just had some heart palpations and they felt like my heart has stopped beating and made me stop breathing for 3 seconds. I feel sleepy and scared. I was just finishing working out a few hours ago and ate a double cheese sandwich with alot of ham and with whole wheat bread. I dont think i have a heart problem because the other night 3 days before i was doing a night jogging with sprinting around the block and i havent gotten palpation or pains during those runs and sprint, everything went well that night. Im starting to get alittle pain on my lower chest, that keeps on leaving and coming back. Im hoping these are withdrawal symptoms. This is the first time the palpations are coming intense. Im hoping there temporary and linked with anxiety.

    man, go and check out with your doc. If possible ask your doc for a 24h wearable ecg-monitor. I am not a cardiologist, but dont see any reason for this to be withdrawal symptoms. To me, it seems you might have heart rhithm problems (looks like you described extrasystols), some of these are dangerous, some are not. You say you train a lot - do you use supplements (pre-workouts, caffeine, NO-donators etc...?). If you do, try to stop taking them for a while and look at results.

    And congrats with the streak! :)

    Hello brother, to awnser your question i do not take supplements. I take none of that stuff, i eat regular food. But i do take multivitamins sometimes not all the time, i just drank a fish oil pill right now, the months before i havent taken fish oil. I havent had a palpation since the day before, when it all started. I stopped eating the yogurt that i ate before it started happened and it looks like the yogurt might of caused it. I made a banana strawberry smoothie with milk right now and felt nothing happen, no palpations. I had little little chest pain under the area of my heart earlier in the morning at school before, but it went away. The only thing im feeling now is mood swings (been raining all day and gunna rain tommorow too) and the hard throbbing sensation that i described earlier in my post. My hearts been feeling weird and normal like in patterns. Right now it feels normal. Im 17, so i have to ask my parents to take me to the doctors to get myself checked out just incase. I told my father about the palaptions but hes saying it's probably anxiety, but i think it was the yogurt that caused it. Amma try and convince him tommorow to make an appointment and get myself checked out. But as of right now i feel normal, but sometimes feel as if i dont breath in enough oxygen, this feeling comes and goes, hoping its part of withdrawal proccess and part of reboot. But other then that i feel confident and comfortable in social situations. Sometimes full of energy in the early morning, around 5am i wake up and shower for school and feel full of energy that carries throught my whole day and into when i workout too.

    Ok guys, i just had a panic attack yesterday and went to the hospital. During the episode i felt like i couldnt breath and i was scared and crying. Got to the hospital and it kind of started going away but started coming back again less intense then went away. Stood at the hospital for 3 hours, for blood work and ekg. They said everything was good, my blood pressure and everything. So they couldnt give me anything to take for it, becuase i am too young 17yrs old. I passed out and felt nauses when they were taking my blood. But then i came back too normal. Came home that night and had the best sleep in months. Woke up in the morning with random thoughts of suicide, i would never attempt it though. I felt breathless after showering i dont know if i was hyperventilating or breathless. I felt sad and worried throughout the day. I think im in a flatline idk its my first day feeling like this. Whenever i move quick and sit down quick i feel like gasping for air and i can feel my heart pounding from my chest to my throught. I try controlling my breathing but i sometimes get chestpain. I dont know man. Its so weird. I question myself "what is this im feeling?" Im in day 83/streak. Im willing to make to 90days then to 130days and so on. But i am never watching porn and fapping, i am never going to relapse. The doc at the hospital told me i cant do strenuose excersice. So i cant lift weights. Someone give me advice on what to do. Im a straight A student, i got one month of school left. I feel so tired and lazy, i feel like my face and cheek bones are warmer than my body, i feel my whole body pulsating and throbbing like i can feel the blood traveling in me.

    @Fourtyeight : Wow i'm looking for the thread like this cuz this happened to me too. I don't think it was withdrawal symptom cuz you didn't relapse. I remember one time i reach over two months and still felt very frustrated and tired, short breath, rapid heart beat. I think it's very very likely depression or anxiety was the cause of all these symptoms. It's not about pmo anymore, so don't relapse, pmo doesn't help you. Yeah go see doctor about that, take some vitamins. Also practice mindfulness, it's the mental problem, so we're gotta focus on the mental part, go to a park, your eyes focus on the leaves of a tree, count from 1 to 100 then repeat, keep doing it don't let your eyes wander.

    I used to do a bunch of tests, blood, brain, heart.... and they found nothing, everything was normal, so it was mental problem.

    Hey guys day 84, eversince my panic attack im scared to breath deep and fully again becuase i dont want to hyperventilate. I dont know if i am hyperventilating or just trying to breath in deeply naturally. I am not breathing in fully eversince, should i start breathing in deeply or shortly. I was thinking of excersing or running, to get my mind off my worry. I think what triggered me to panic was before it happened i couldnt breath in fully after showering and i was freaking out and then i started crying and gasping for air. I ate popeyes chicken with some whole grain rice. Before this all happened, Mabey that caused it. Sometimes when i breath fully i feel breathless and chest pain, mabey it was a bad coincedence.
