Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Palpitations

Yes you need a cardiac evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern.
The anxiety, palpitations and constant crying over trivial triggers justifies a psychiatric workup. The palpitations in association with the anxiety could be panic attacks. This can only be confirmed properly if a XXXXXXX mental state exam is performed to ascertain whether its anxiety or depression that are manifesting your symptoms.
It could most likely be stress but other serious causes must be ruled out first.
I would advise you to get a cardiac evaluation done. ECG and Echocardiogram should be done. Blood Pressure and heart rate monitoring at home should be done. A lipid profile will also be required as part of this evaluation. You may be prescribed a Beta blocker if your heart rate is significantly increased, Beta blockers would help in both the anxiety episodes as well as the palpitations.
I would recommend you undergo routine investigations to rule out any underlying metabolic cause for your symptoms. These should include
Complete blood count
Thyroid Function Tests
Renal Function Tests
Electrolytes
LIVER FUNCTION Tests
Fasting Blood Sugar
Urine R/E
Let me know if you have any query
wishing you best of health
Thanks
