A Closer Look At Anxiety & God

Why Is My Heart Beating Fast?

There’s something uniquely unsettling about a racing heart that appears without warning. One moment you’re scrolling through your phone, sitting at your desk, or winding down for the night — the next, your chest tightens, your pulse quickens, and you’re convinced something is deeply wrong.

If you've ever typed “why is my heart beating fast” into a search engine in the middle of the night, this is for you.

i. Begin with a breath

Let’s start here — exhale. Slowly. Intentionally. You’re safe in this moment. A fast heartbeat can feel alarming, but the cause is often far less sinister than our minds assume. Understanding what’s happening in your body is the first step toward reclaiming calm.

ii. The physiology behind a racing heart

When the heart speeds up without exertion, it can be a shock. This isn’t just an emotional reaction — it’s a physiological one. Your body has a built-in survival mechanism: the fight-or-flight response. It’s an evolutionary system designed to help you respond quickly to threats. The problem is, modern stressors — like a difficult conversation, financial pressure, or even subconscious worry — can trigger the same response.

Your brain perceives a threat, your adrenal glands release adrenaline, and your body shifts into alert mode. The result? A rapid heartbeat, faster breathing, muscle tension, and heightened awareness.

iii. When anxiety doesn’t feel like anxiety

Anxiety doesn’t always announce itself as worry. It can show up as restlessness, irritability, or — as is often the case — unexplained physical sensations. Many people experience anxiety somatically, meaning the symptoms are felt in the body long before the mind registers what’s happening.

A racing heart is one of the most common physical symptoms. Others might include shallow breathing, trembling hands, tightness in the chest, or lightheadedness. You might not feel anxious in the traditional sense, but your nervous system is working overtime.

iv. Ruling out medical causes

Of course, it’s important not to assume. A racing heart should always be discussed with a medical provider, particularly if it’s a new or persistent symptom. There are several non-anxiety-related causes that should be ruled out:

- Heart rhythm irregularities — such as arrhythmia, which can cause the heart to beat too quickly, too slowly, or erratically

- Thyroid dysfunction — especially hyperthyroidism, which can accelerate the heart rate and mimic symptoms of anxiety

- Dehydration or low blood sugar — both of which place stress on the body and may prompt cardiovascular symptoms

- Stimulants — including caffeine, nicotine, and certain medications that can cause palpitations or restlessness

If these have been eliminated and your heart continues to race during emotionally charged or seemingly calm moments, anxiety may be the underlying cause.

v. What to do in the moment

When your heart begins to race, grounding techniques can offer real relief — not just emotionally, but physiologically:

1. Regulate your breath — Try box breathing (inhale for four counts, hold for four, exhale for four, hold again). Slow, intentional breathwork helps reset the nervous system.

2. Engage the senses — Ground yourself with the 5 senses method: There is no danger till YOU have identified it. If you are aligned with YHWH, you shouldn't be reading this blog post or be in a place you don't feel safe so, stay to the end & share to save a soul.

3. Move gently — Stretch, walk, or change your environment. Physical motion helps dissipate excess adrenaline.

4. Speak to yourself — Internal dialogue matters. “This feeling is temporary. I am safe and in God's storybook anyway. My body is protecting me & God shall not attack me as this Eden is his plot". We should believe we become Eden when "we are born again" and everything evil and death is beneath us else you are walking dead, "a ticking time bomb on earth" soon to explode in the right fashion.

5. Do you know God? Must read the FAQ heading in the next few sections.

These are not just mental tricks. They are real tools to help guide the body back into a state of balance, compulsory balance.

vi. Supporting your nervous system long-term

If your heart frequently races in response to stress, it’s worth looking at your overall nervous system health. Chronic anxiety can keep your body in a near-constant state of alert. The antidote lies not in forcing yourself to “calm down,” but in creating a life that feels safer, softer, and slower where it counts.

Key focus

1. Consistent, quality sleep — the foundation for emotional and physical regulation
2. Physical movement — not just for fitness, but for nervous system support (think walking, dancing, stretching)
3. Mindfulness practices — such as meditation, journaling, or breathwork to build internal awareness
4. Reduced stimulant intake — including caffeine, sugar, and digital noise
5. Therapeutic support — cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic work, or nervous system-focused modalities

This isn’t about perfection but, self-care and God. It’s about resourcing yourself — emotionally, mentally, physically — so your body doesn’t need to scream to get your attention.

vii. When to seek further support

If your symptoms are frequent, distressing, or interfering with daily life, reach out to a professional. Anxiety is real, valid, and treatable. You are not weak for needing help — you are wise for seeking it.

There is nothing noble about suffering in silence.

viii. The heart as messenger, not enemy

A racing heart can be a terrifying experience, especially when it seems to come out of nowhere. But more often than not, it’s a message — not a malfunction.

It’s your body’s way of signaling that something needs attention: a buildup of stress, a neglected emotion, a lifestyle that’s running on empty. When we learn to listen instead of panic, we open the door to healing.

So if you find yourself in that moment — chest tight, pulse surging — remember this:

Your body is not betraying you. It’s trying to protect you.
Your feelings are not weaknesses. They are invitations to tend to yourself more gently.

And you are alone if you don't know God, as other aspects of life will turn out good for you for simply attributing everything coming your way to God/Allah.

You’re a Baddie. A self-aware, growth-minded, resilient one — and your heartbeat is just one rhythm in the symphony of your becoming -- We both don't know what that means & that's okay.
