Sounds like panic attack to me.  Same thing happened to me.  Brought on by stress although I didn't feel stressed.  I fyou don't deal with stress properly or productively, then your body will in its own way

It could be your heart. I would see a doctor to sort it out.

sounds like a bad cold or the flu to me. Go see a doctor and he can tell you everything you need to know. In the mean time you can get lot's of fresh Vitamin C (fresh lemons, oranges) and use the menthol rub and some throat losenges. Drink LOTS of water or Powerade. Eat some light soup, like chicken soup. (Not dark soup) But regardless of whether you fell like you might be getting better, go see a doctor and make sure it's not something serious.\n\nIf you have alot of phlem in your lungs, Mucinex works great(the GREEN pack, not the blue one) Hope you feel better!

The strain on the voice and being that you are sick, the coal and other bacteria your body is trying to fight off so take it easy and try not to talk you will see that the medication and other stuff that the doctor prescribed for you if any will work and try to gargle with salt and water from time to time hot as you can stand it\n\ntake care

Don't drink! 1st off\n\nYour heart isn't going to stop. you need to go to the doctor and have it checked out and then you will feel better. Are you taking your pulse yourself or have you been told by a doctor that you have a slow heart beat??\n\nWell my heart beats too fast and I get freaked out thinking I'm going to have a heart attack and after all these years I'm still here.\nSo unless you have been told by a doctor you have slow heart rate I wouldn't worry about it.\nJust chill and don't drink. Good lord you wouldn't be able to relax for feeling your heart...:)\nThat was suppose to be funnnny. \nReally I wouldn't drink!\n:)

I have heart disease and my heart used to beat really fast, almost like I had a double heart beat (it's called a "flutter").  I would ask your doctor about it and see if they can send you to a heart specialist.  Heart disease can be a major problem if it's not treated right away.  \n\nYou might have arrythmia or tachycardia or it could be a panic attack, those aren't any fun either.  I would talk to your doctor.  He would know for sure.

There is a neck-up rule. If the symptoms are above the neck, e.g. runny nose, sore throat, headache, then it's probably OK to do moderate exercise. However if you have any symptoms below the neck, including fever, aching limbs and tightness of the chest, then you should not exercise.

It sounds as though you're are having an allergic reaction to something. If you are experiencing dizziness, fever, swollen throat (difficulty in swallowing), nausea or sudden fatigue, you need to call 911. If you are NOT experiencing any of these symptoms, you can call a triage nurse at your general practitioner's office. Regardless, you need to get to the bottom of this, so please, call your doctor. Good luck.

Yes this could be from anxiety. The light headedness, and excess swallowing from nervousness, and the shortness of breath from possibly hyperventilating from too much worry about the situation. Id say mild panic attack but the chest pressure with light headedness could mean worse. Id get an ekg and " get it off your chest".

Have you had any panic attacks? \n-Sweating\n-Shaking\n-Racing thoughts\n-Choking feeling\n-Trouble breathing\n-Racing heart beat\n\nYou might...talk to your doctor about it.  If you feel constantly in anxeity there could be a deeper root or you could be developing or have anxeity disorder.  Call your doctor and talk to him about it

I dealt with a similar thing in college.  My heart irregularly papitated and it really disturbed me.  It would race up for no reason.  \n\nThings I did to reverse the problem:\n\n-Reduced my caffeine intake (caffeine has the potential to make your heart race)\n-I had an EKG study on my heart...it was normal\n-I got plenty of sleep at night\n-Realizing that the majority of my irregular heartbeats were contributed from Anxiety. \n-I began to pray for wisdom with this problem.\n\nAs for feeling your heartbeat after you eat, you will.  When you eat, your body has a lot of gas exchange during the whole digestive process.  The same gas that will make you belch or fart "pass gas" after a meal.  I noticed a lot of pressure in my heart area and discovered that the problem wasn't my heart, it was gas.  I suggest taking a TUMs or some kind of anti-acid to help reduce the gas, which should reduce the pressure around your heart after meals.  Lots of soft drinks, carbohydrates, junk food will bring on gas.  Try to stay away from those foods....I know, that's a hard thing to do if you're in college.  Junk food was everywhere when I was in college.  \n\nAbove all, if you have health insurance, use it.  Go see your doctor and ask him what's best.  He'll be able to tell you what anti-acid medicine you should take.  \n\nDo you have a lot of acid reflux?  \n\nI hope my advice helps ease things a little better.  \n\nGood luck and remember...I'm not an expert.  What I say is just a suggestion from past experiences.  If you're that worried about the heart beats, go see a doctor.

Aw... I'm so sorry. I hope you'll feel better soon.\n\nDo you have a comfortable pillow when you sleep at night? Do you have restless night's sleep or just sleep in one position at night? Sometimes as simple as a pillow can do that to anyone. If you'd like whenever you wake up in the morning, you can do a little exercise that requires two things from you:\n- For you to sit up in bed with your feet on the floor and have about 5 minutes for this.\n- Then, do "neck-exercises" meaning gently turn your head in different directions to relax the sore muscles.\n\nDuring the day time, if your neck starts to ache just do a little bit of the same exercises and it'll go away. At times the difficulty to swallow can also result in the in-comming cold and soar throat. Drink hot tea with lemon or an herbal tea--usually either one does wonders on sore muscles. A little bit of stretching in the morning helps to relieve the tension through out the body, just make sure not to over-do it. Take your time with every exercise and you'll see, you might even feel a lot better than ever before :)\n\nBest of luck and take care :)

I'm not saying that this is what it is....but sometimes it can be something related to your heart. Your heart is beating so fast that you sweat. It could be hormones....making you have hot flashes...it could be an electrolyte imbalance. All of which are important and I would consult your MD.

considering your body is trying to recuperate from being sick, it seems like the best thing you can do is rest as much as possible. being sick can take away so much more than energy from your body so no matter what you do nothing will help until your healed. rest for a while until you feel better, and trust me your body will let you know as soon as possible because it's not made to rest forever, and will need the exercise. all your symptoms of weakness and dizziness are there for a reason to tell you to slow down and relax, especially if taking medication. just make sure to eat healthy and drink lots of water to keep your internal system energized until its ready for the external to get up and move. good luck and dont rush it or you may make things worse and prolonged.
