I'm feeling really anxious lately, and I've started noticing this strange sensation where my heart suddenly seems to beat extra hard or feels delayed, especially when I'm just sitting or standing quietly. Could my anxiety be causing these strong or extra heartbeats, or is there something else going on that I should be worried about?
