What Causes Irregular Heart Beats While Having Anxiety?

Anxiety if medical causes ruled out.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your details. I understand your concerns.
You have had your blood tests done which were normal. You doctor also feels that your heart sounds are normal. You still have doubts about having some Cardiac issues.
In such a case, you can go for ECG, TMT and ECHO (under your cardiologist's supervision). If the reports are still normal, then we can be sure that this is just because of anxiety.
Anxiety disorder can manifest as symptoms pertaining to any of the body system.
There is a sympathetic stimulation in body during anxiety which causes all these symptoms, commonly racing heart, chest pain and shortness of breath.
And, Anxiety disorder is a diagnosis of exclusion. This means that anxiety disorder should only be labelled only if the related medical disorders are ruled out.
However, you can still practice relaxation exercises like slow and deep breathing and meditation. This will help you anyhow.
You can consult your doctor for respective tests and investigations. Then we can discuss further on the treatment, once we are sure that this is only due to anxiety.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Regards.


Probably panic attack.
Detailed Answer:
You are most welcome.
This could be a symptom of a panic attack.
There is adrenaline rush in the body which increases heart rate.
This is a very common symptom due to anxiety.
As I mentioned earlier, relaxation exercises will help you.
I wish for your speedy recovery.
Thanks.
