Hi Kirk
Seeing a psychologist, is a great step. Try not to focus too much on your heart beating, I know this is really difficult, but constantly listening and checking is just making it race faster. You are putting your body in a anxious state, by worrying and your body is reacting how it should be when anxious. From your thread it sounds as if you are constantly worrying about it.
If you worry about eating certain foods then you eat that particular food you are then anticipating something to happen, also eating when you are anxious is not a great thing to do, as this will just irritate everything. (unless you know you have food intolerances)
I hate it when my heart races. It makes me feel breathless sometimes and just horrible really.
You haven't said if you've had any test done? As it is always best to see your doctor, and get them to do tests, not that I think you have something terribly wrong, but it may help you to stop worrying so much.
When you are anxious it can irritate your stomach, as you can get nervous indigestion, this in turn can stimulate your vagus nerve. Also when you are anxious about something, a natural reaction for your body is to evacuate all waste, so you end up on the toilet more.
I hope this has helped a little, I'm no doctor and I'm sure RLR will give you help.
Thanks
