I had a great workout today. Ran for 3.5 miles at an incline of 2 on the treadmill. After the cardio I did weight training for my legs, arms and chest. I felt great during and after the workout but something in general doesn't feel right. Not sure what's been going on with me in the last 5 days. Ever since I've lost this large amount of weight I've become more aware of my body. My body not only feels lighter but different. I have a deeper sense of physical awareness from the inside. It's like the organs that used to have fat surrounding them now feel different. It's like I have a heightened sense of awareness of their presence in my body (sounds a little corny I know).
I've noticed over the last five days I can feel my heart beating in my chest. At first when I noticed it I thought it was kind of odd but just passed it off as a heightened sense of awareness. Since then I've become a little bit concerned. I've never had this before and I don't have other symptoms (other than perhaps I notice my breathing for that brief moment of time). When I feel my heart beat its only for a brief moment and it happens several times a day. When I'm exercising I don't seem to notice any problems with my breathing or energy level etc...
The only thing I can think of is it stress? My son K~ wasn't feeling well last week and he's going through a little bit of angst about school (there hasn't been a full week of school yet this year with snow days, vacation days and illness - so that isn't helping I'm sure). I think I'm going to call the Dr. tomorrow. It could just be stress but I think I should air to the conservative side of things and get checked out sooner than later.
Hoping this is nothing and I'm just being overly cautious. Now I'm off to a much needed Mom's Night Out!

Definitely have that checked out. I started having heart palpatations around Christmas time. After wearing a heart monitor for a week and seeing 2 specialist, they chalked it up to a fluke but I'm glad that I went.
