Does your heartbeat race when visiting the doctor?

Yes absolutely!

Sometimes doctors even anticipate and consider it normal.

I remember once when I had a viral fever (it's a fever that doctors cannot explain and blood tests show nothing) I visited my GP of that time - a woman in her late 30s and rather nice looking.

Lying on my back on the exam table, while she placed her stethoscope at various places on my chest, I could feel my heart pounding.

She went on to check my blood pressure with an electronic device that also read out my heartbeat.

She didn't make any comment about either my BP or heartbeat.

I asked her if either my BP or pulse rate was higher than normal and

She said: No, should they be?

I said: I feel so.

She asked: Why?

I said: Well...because I am nervous and can hear my heartbeat - rather heart-thump - loud and fast

She smiled and asked: What's there to be nervous about? It's only a viral.

I said sheepishly: Well, you could decide to give me some injections

She smiled: You want me to?

I said: Only if necessary - I'm afraid of needles!

She laughed: Nah. No injections for a viral unless you can't swallow tabs.

I said: That helps. I can swallow tabs and can do without the injections thank you very much

She laughed again: Just take these tabs to keep the fever down. You'll be okay in 3-4 days. Come back only if the fever persists beyond that. Or other symptoms like vomiting or chest infection show up.

I took the prescription and left. She was right, I was okay three days later.

Possibly that combination of fear of the unknown disease, anticipation of the pain of a likely injection, the helplessness lying on one's back and submitting to a pretty woman - albeit a trained professional - all make good reasons for the heart to go bumpity bump!

For all healthcare professionals: Respect!

But my uber-creative, constantly travelling mind just sets my imagination on fire...

Definitely. I'm always embarrassed, doctors usually ask me to "relax and don't be nervous over nothing".

Witch

Does it turn you on sexually when you are being examined?

Yes , if I let it. I need to think about something else or I will get massively turned on.

It races especially just before the nurse takes my vitals during an exam. My BP stays remarkably low buy my pulse is always elevated.

Yes, with fear.

Not so much when the exam begins, but in the waiting room waiting to be called back it does.

Mine goes a bit faster if I'm having a consultation and just asked to lift my shirt. If I'm having a physical and just there in my boxers then it speeds up rapidly! 😃

Yes, mine races like mad

Usually quite a lot. But that does not matter, at least the doctor listens more intently.

Yes, it definitely does.

Having worked in a clinical setting for a number of years I don't think my heart rate races at all. It's races more waiting in the waiting room watching the various patients and listening to various conversations around me( when can be very interesting at times). But once I enter the exam room it goes back to normal as I don't suffer from "white cost syndrome".

Every time.

Yes, always and it's not a good feeling for me, play exams are another story of course.

Mine races every time

even the sight of the stethoscope on the doctor's desk etc is enough to start it racing

My heart starts to beat quicker on the drive there and continues to increase.....I guess knowing that in a short while I will be in a gown and the doc will be checking my penis, testicles, and doing a rectal exam. My doc knows I get "nervous" so she checks my heart again after she finishes her exam.

Absolutely. It's usually close to 100 (I'm normally about 65-70). Doctors usually read it as somewhat of a concern, but I just tell them it's white coat syndrome.

Ousness in a doctors office.It seems sometime I get "whitecoat high blood ptressure" , nervous in a doctors office. Not all the time.

Yes, mine goes crazy! and gets worse the moment the steth meets my pecs….

My heart races when the doc picks up the stethoscope and puts it in his ears. As the cold disk touches my pecs I get a strange, but good, sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. When he asks me to take deep breathes that helps me to calm down, as does stething my back which I don't find anything like as good as stething my pecs and abs. After my back he asks me to lay on my back and steths me from neck to the waistband of my boxer briefs. My stomach is incredibly sensitive to the cold metal of the stethoscope and often makes me feel as if I am going to involuntarily shudder.

Yes, it sure does as well as the blood pressure going higher and they always ask about it and I say just nervousness and they accept that. However, I do think it is in part nervousness that they will find something wrong with me, but I think a large part is actually the excitement of the exam itself, which for me is highly erotic...but I don't tell them that! Strange as it may sound, I also get the same way for play exams when I am the patient...and I know that is from the erotic aspect of the play exams and not any kind of nervousness at all, but just t5he sexual tension and excitement, but even my play doctors comment on it, but to make it more real for me, I also say it is the white coat anxiety, when in reality it is the eroticism of the whole thing.

If the doctor is female my heart starts racing long before the exam time.

Every time I had the chance to be examined by a woman doc she noticed and asked that why I was that nervous.

I also have problems with high blood pressure in that situations, but usually docs are awared about the white coat syndrome and take into account.

My ex-wife and I were playing with a vaginal speculum when I found her G-spot, without knowing what it was, or even that G-spots existed. She almost levitated, and said that I was ruining her for all her future visits to her OB-Gyn, because once she saw a speculum coming, she would take off and soar.

And some will have skipped beats than can confuse the examiner.

Sure it does - always

Not so much a real doctor, but certainly a play one.

It used to when I was young. Now it doesn't. No white coat syndrom here.

It does when I visit the dentist. I actually got so excited about a visit a couple years ago that they couldn't do the cleaning b/c my pulse was so high from all the excitement!

It always goes berserk as I approach the door of the clinic... It goes wilder during the wait and I really have to control it with an effort of will...

It takes all my will and grit to control the pounding pump and rising shaft so that the doctor doesn't feel something fishy... Maaaan it becomes so difficult....

Once my doctor actually got suspicious and asked me why was my heart beat so fast...and I had to lie that since I'd run up the two flights of stairs to the clinic that's why...?

Never fails. Sitting naked under a paper gown starts my heart pounding. I have to concentrate on calming down. I start getting erect too.
