I was just wondering why you can sometimes feel this and sometimes you can't?
I got up and had breakfast and sat for a while watching tv this morning.  I then got up and went in the kitchen to have another cuppa and sort the washing and as soon as i got in the kitchen to pour my cuppa i could feel my heart bashing away, i did not check, but it felt like it was doing at least 120 and it was very powerful and i felt it all through my body and in my ears.  I have felt this on lots of occasions and you have explained about the 'rush' and 'surge' feelings, which you state are normal.  But after about 5 minutes this went off and i was ok again, but how come sometimes i can feel this and sometimes i cannot?  A little later i was humping washing and drying about and even though i new that my heart was going fast, i could not feel it and it did not get that 'surge' at all.xx

Thanks for that reply, that is exactly what it feels like to me too.  I feel a bit better now at least someone else knows what this feels like, thanks again.xx

Oh yes, my ears are terrible.  They have been a bit better since i've been off work but for the past two days they've started again.  That is one of the reasons why i had one of the MRI's.  But they came out clear.  But it is the horrible feeling that i am scared off because it reminds me of when my illness first started and i thought i was going to pass out and die and this feeling still haunts me.  I also get a lot of ringing in my ear/ears.  Worse these past two days, but i don't know why, i have not done or eaten anything different.  I know exactly what you mean though, it is a nasty sensation.  I am waiting to be referred to a neurologist and a phsio.  They are querying whether it is meneires disease or a muscular problem.  But at least we are not alone hey.  Thanks for the replies.xx
