Over the past couple years, I've found that when I sleep on my left side, and I feel my pulse on my left rib cage, it literally drives me INSANE. Everyone's probably like, duh lady, that's your heart. I know where my heart is lol But it's not in the center/slight left. It's on my side -- right below my armpit. cant feel it unless I'm laying on it though. I don't really have a fear of pulses but my fear is that my blood will be cut off to some part of my body. Like for some reason I can't get it out of my head that I'm crushing something vitally important when I sleep on my left side. I also can't stand to have anything touching my neck when I sleep because I feel the pulse against whatever is touching it. The slightest touch will keep my fidgeting all night. UGH! Anyone else have the same problem?
Is it normal that there is no phobic name for the fear of a pulse?
