Throbbing Heartbeat In My Back

You are experiencing something that will automatically make you a suspect hypochondriac, or hyper anxiety case. The fact is, I have and am experiencing a similar internal vibration. The presentation is such that it began several years ago as a distinct pulsation occurring at about 2-4x the heart rate, and in sync with it. After ruling out everything internal, inlcuding the heart, it still defies definition. These days it appears mostly as a mild, high frequency vibration, most noticable when lying on my back, seemingly occurring at or near the heart. When particularly strong, it appears to precipitate heart skips (specifically, premature beats). It shows up with sudden exertion, sudden posture changes, with fear or anxiety, and lasts for several minutes (although it never really goes away completely).
My best guess is a mild autonomic dysfunction, ie, the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems running over and around the heart. Based on the change in symptoms over the last three years, I am also guessing the systems are gradually balancing out (I hope).
Let us know what you find out. I also suspect an inner ear viral infection started the mess (check out my post of a few days ago).
Good luck.

What causes the anxiety symptom pulsing throbbing sensation?

Anxiety causes the body to produce the stress response (also known as the fight or flight response). The stress response adversely affects the body's nervous system, which is responsible for the nerve impulses that cause muscle movements. When the nervous system becomes overly stressed, it can act in erratic and more involuntary ways. Experiencing pulsing throbbing muscles and/or muscle groups is an example of this erratic and more involuntary behavior.

How to get rid of the anxiety symptom?
