Can Anxiety And Anemia Cause Skipped Heartbeats?

default
Posted on Mon, 12 Dec 2016
Question: I have had menstrual issues since July, I have had two D&Cs and needed a blood transfusion. Since September, my heart beat has been irregular. I have always had anxiety problems and now have anemia. Could these be the reasons behind my irregular heartbeat? It seems to skip beats.

Brief Answer:
Anemia could be the reason

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Anemia is likely to be the reason for this variation of heartbeat. Please get your hemoglobin levels checked. If hemoglobin levels are less than 10 I suggest you go ahead with iron tablets supplements.

Also get ECG to check heart.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
