I want to know if it is normal to fear one's own heartbeat. Not mostly the heart and blood, but the sound and feel of it.
About a year and a half ago, I fainted and had a small seizure due to being out in the sun for too long, and before the seizure, I could see and feel my heartbeat, which scared the sh!t out of me.
Whenever I lay down and relax a little, I feel my pulse, thumping in my wrist or my neck, and sit up immediately. I always am scared that I will faint again.

Is this normal?

    I’d be far more fearful if I didn’t feel it beating.

    I don't fear my own heartbeat but hearing other's fast heartbeats, like used for effects in movies and such, makes me hyper-aware of my own and I don't like that.

    Do not go looking up those youtube videos of a beating heart hooked up to a life machine. It is this beating heart and it is creepy.

    Ok look, if curiosity gets the best of you, make sure you are somewhere that you can lay down and faint while watching.

    It is sad though. The heart is probably the most amazing and hardest working organ in our bodies yet we are creeped out by it.

    I feel like this every time I go to sleep. I fear that my heartbeat will just stop or something like that.

    The beating action of my heart makes me nauseous.

    Nope.

    Sometimes I can see the big vein in my neck pulsing.
