What Causes Feel Of Air Bubbles In Chest And Rise In Pulse Level?
Everyday I wake up with what feels like an air bubble in the top part of my chest . I have a lot of stress in my life I m on medication for it but every day that I wake up in the bubble feeling at the top of my chest like right above my heart I ve done EKGs and they re all fine I ve done several and my doctor said that my pulse runs very very high dangerously high at one point it was like 122 ... I do hold stress in and have 4 grown kids but boy do they stress me out !!! I was a single mother and had a lot of bad stuff happen in my life not just as an adult but also as a child but I didn t start feeling the air bubbles until just recently ..... I thought this was a free site with docs that don t want money from me ...

Hi,
Regarding your symptoms, the feeling of air bubbles in your chest and an increase in your pulse rate could be related to anxiety or stress. Anxiety can cause physical symptoms, including chest tightness, shortness of breath, and increased heart rate. It's good that you've had EKGs done and they have come back normal, but it's still important to discuss your symptoms with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and possible treatment options. In addition to medication, stress management techniques such as relaxation exercises, therapy, and exercise may also help.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
