Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does Anxiety Cause Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia?
I have been diagnosed with PSVT for many years now and have been taking Toporal(?) for treatment. Even with that medication I ve had 3 episodes where I ve had to go to the ER and be converted with Adenosine. I ve heard that anxiety can trigger PSVT, but I ve also heard that anti-anxiety medication is not recommended for people with heart conditions. So other than an ablation (which obviously is the best solution) is there an anti-anxiety medication that may help manage the stress triggering the PSVT?

Does Anxiety Cause Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia?
Hi, Anxiety can cause high heart rate and adrenaline rush which can harm your existing heart aliments. You consult a physician and start anti anxiety drugs like Clonazepam, nothing wrong in it. You can also try relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
