Heart in your Mouth

    I am Dr. Lindsey.  At the hospital I had a patient who had an unusual heart condition called “heart in your mouth”. This is when your heart moves up and connects to your cheeks by veins, arteries and capillaries.
    You can get this “heart in your mouth” when you become frightened or paralyzed with fear.It is caused by the kind of fear you get when your brother runs across the street and just misses getting hit by a truck or when you’re looking at a big, scary-looking roller coaster.
    You probably know when someone has the “heart in their mouth” when their heart is beating fast or they get startled easily. Also, they often scream and shake.  Sometimes a person with this heart condition can’t eat because he keeps on thinking about the incident.
    This condition can be cured when you relax and your heartbeat starts to slow down or when you think of something pleasant. This will help because when you relax or think of something pleasant your veins arteries and capillaries get loose and your heart will then fall and jump into its place.  After that it reattaches.
