I can hear and feel my heart beating - #173

Hello Kavya, Since when do you have these symptoms? Also what are the findings of ECG?

That sounds really tough to deal with and I can imagine how it could be stressful. First off, it's important to be mindful if the symptoms persist or worsen, reaching out to a doctor for a more in-depth check-up is the wise move. But diving into Ayurveda, let's see what could help you out a bit. Your description sounds like a Vata imbalance, as Vata dosha governs movement, circulation, and sensory experience. Your experience of feeling the heart beating and a buzzing sensation might be linked to an overstimulated nervous system too, right? So let's try to calm things down a bit. Start by focusing on grounding routines. You might try incorporating Abhyanga, which is a self-oil massage. Using warm sesame oil, or even almond oil if that's easier for you, gently massage it onto your body before a warm shower or bath in the morning. This can soothe the nervous system and give a sense of stability. For your diet, favor warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest. Think soups, stews, and porridges. Avoid raw and cold foods, they might aggravate Vata. Also stay hydrated but sip on warm water throughout the day. Bedtime rituals are key too. Try a warm glass of milk mixed with a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom before bed. This can help settle things down. Avoid stimulants like caffeine, and cut down on spicy foods, which can raise heart rate. Incorporate practices like gentle yoga or pranayama. Nadi Shodhana or alternate nostril breathing can be quite calming. Do this for 5-10 minutes before bed. Again, keeping an eye on your symptoms is crucial. If anything feels off or too intense, or if when lifestyle changes dont make a dent, don't hesitate to consult your MD. You could really gain a broader perspective with all angles considered. Stay well!
