Brief Answer:
Kindly refer to the detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I would like to tell you that palpitations can happen due to anxiety or underlying any cardiac disease which may require further evaluation.
As you already have mentioned you have an anxiety disorder for 6 years then kindly consult a Psychiatrist or a Psychologist for treatment options like medicines or therapies which will also help in lowering the symptoms of palpitations.
And to exclude the risk of any fetal heart rhythm disorder I would advise some basic cardiac evaluation which includes
1. ECG
2. Echo
3. Holter monitoring for 24-48 hours
Kindly get these tests done and revert back with reports so that I can guide you properly.
Hope I have answered your query.
