currently 23yo (m), student
This first happened couple years ago i think, starting to feeling it got worsen when time passes.
The first time i had this, i suddenly woke up in the middle of a night and my heart beats so fast that the vibrations felt from the beatings feels so intense that i nearly panicked and scared, thought i was gonna die anytime. Took me some 5 minutes "forcing" myself to calm down and the heart beatings finally went back to normal pace, leaving me unable to fall into deep sleep for the next couple hours and of course, i woke up feeling crappy.

It happened very randomly over the years till recently i will have this kind of shortness of breath feeling where i am breathing normally, but i don't feel like I'm taking in full grasps of air. Most of the time it happened at night before bedtime and it will come with the feeling of tightness in middle of my chest. When this happens i literally cant fall asleep even when i want to, also finding myself taking very short breaths instead of "normal" breathes till the point when i find out, by the time i find myself not breathing properly my palms or sometimes my cheeks are feeling kinda numb, i had to make myself take normal breaths so that this numbness or tingling feeling will start to fade away. These "conditions" usually will last couple hours and i'm really dont know what is happening to myself.

Ah also, before what abovementioned happened, or before what abovementioned first happened, i will have random "acid reflux"? When i burp i will feel this burning sensation coming from the abdomen area, sometimes the burning sensation will radiate to my middle chest area. This also usually happens at night time near bedtime (i usually sleep around 12am to 1am). I think this got worse? When time passes after i have this acid reflux thingy? I will feel the difficulty to burp, feels like the air is stuck somewhere at lower left abdomen. When this happens i will sometimes feel some pain? in that area and when it happens during bedtime i had to wait till the air that got "stuck" there is "burped" out so i will feel better.

The symptoms will sometimes come randomly, or all the symptoms will come at once. I had sleepless night or bad quality sleeps when even one of the symptoms happens near or during bedtime. They are getting frequent and i really dont know what to do, i didnt consult my parents about it because i thought its gonna sort of "go away"....but seems like it went the opposite way.

Any suggestions? Should i go to doctor to check up?

*Sorry for my bad english of if the sentences are kinda messy. I tried to explain as clearly as i can*

You should see the doctor

I don't think we can help you in this thread, lol

could be due to stress, better go consult doctor

Sounds like it’s affecting you badly. Best to see a doctor, maybe a heart or a gastro dr

Still thinking about it? Either psychologically or your heart problem.

Hi TS. I'm a junior house officer. It sounds like a panic attack/anxiety disorder to me. The burning sensation and burping on the other hand might be due to GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease) or so called acid reflux. Anxiety might worsen your GERD symptoms which i think is what you are facing with. HOWEVER, i couldn't diagnose you without seeing you in person and please seek for medical attention to rule out other conditions like heart problems, thyroid, or electrolyte imbalances. The drs will likely do an ECG, a few tests and ask you a few more questions. Stay safe and stay healthy!

Go see a doctor. Things like this better dun just leave it be without proper consultation.
