When I am nervous or scared, why does my heart start to race?
Answer:
Teeleeecee has the right answer but it's called,"Fight or Flight Response". It's a normal body reaction to those conditions that you've described, your first instinct is to either run and hide and when your scared most people don't know if they should "fight" to defend themselves or run and hide. Your body becomes nervous and your heart reacts by beating faster causing your body to go into over load. It just means that your a nervous person by nature. Try meditation, I know it sounds corny but it may help you to relax or perhaps some therapy to find out why your such an apprehensive person. I used to be like that but that's because I grew up with so much stress in my life as a youth I didn't know how to deal with it. I was always stressed like you, I did eventually go into therapy and got a grip on my self and my life and now I'm very easy going and my husband call me his rock. This worked for me and I'm only making a suggestion but it may help you. Good Luck Sweetie and God Bless.
your brain is telling u to make your heart race, so it does
I think it is normal but thats just me.
What I do is try to dress a way that will make me feel comfortable and try to always stay in places that I feel comfortable in.
panic attacks. anxiety disorder. smoke pot or take dangerous pharmeceuticals...
i can tell that ur very very shy! also that it is normal to get hearth race when ur nervous or even excited. most likely when u r nervouse.
my advice face ur fear. and try to control ur emtions , now dont get offend by this but i can bet the ur virgin as well that does not help rur problem much.
There is a physiological explanation. It's a rush of adreneline because you're experiencing the "fight or flight" response. This means your body doesn't know whether to stay and fight or run away. You body doesn't know what's motivating this response, only that it needs to do something, and is setting up the adreneline to prepare you for what's next.
it's normal...it just happens when you are nervous...it happens to me all the time, because i have a huge fear of talking infront of people, even small groups. everytime i do, my hands sweat, my heart races, and sometimes i turn red.people just respond to nervousness in different ways...don't worry i think it's perfectly normal- if it isn't than i have a problem too=)
Nothing wrong in that feeling. A feeling of apprehensive just a normal thing for you. You are an emotional person and a right to be.You just need to control that feeling and know there will many more of them. Relax and say this " they are just people just like me". Your personality is normal. Just a bit questionable when it comes to new people. Enough of meeting certain people and you will be ok.Luck to you.
You do this so that you will sweat out the smell of fear, and make yourself easier to catch. Mostly a leftover from the days when prey eagerly gave themselves to the inevitable in spellbound acceptance of their fate.
Because you feel unsecured and don't know how to control yourself. You feel everything around is against you and even a small sound may jolt you tremendously. But this is not a good sign so you must tackle with your own situation by developing confidence and trust within yourself and stop thinking odd things. Think good and you will always be in good state of mind.
Exactly what Teeleecee said... Fight or flight.
it is fight or flight response! most users above are right, i will explain it.
in this cause social situtions trigger an agnoist response with the adrenoceptors cells. in other words, adrenoline is activated when your in a social sitution that is not comfortable for you. this causes your heart rate to race and your pupils to dilate. the reason is to prepare your body with more blood, glucose and such when it fight or flights.
why does this happen? i will go with the non-medical approach...for the obvious reason.
you probably have low confidence and/or you are trying to hard to fit in. maybe you don't feel comfortable around these people? are they truely your friends? or do you want them as friends? you are probably scared or anxious of them because you want them to like you, but you are too worried about your appearance and popularity.
it's normal for some people, I'm the same way. I also have a ridiculously high pulse rate, but that's just me. there's not much to do about it, but I know what you mean when you say they get so intense that you can't handle it.
