Feeling Light Headed. Normal EKG Report And Stress Test. What Else Could Be Causing This?

I signed up for life insurance and they took an ekg on me. It reported back that it was abnormal. I then went to 2 different dr.s that found the same thing. I never felt bad before the report of abnormal ekg, but now have moments that I am feeling light headed. Almost like a buzz. Not sure if this is psycological or not. The one dr also did a stress test and did not find anything out of the ordinary. My blood pressure has been good. I m 39 and a white male.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

You mention that your EKG was not normal but do not mention what the abnormality in your EKG was and whether or not you discussed this with your doctor. I would advice you to do so if you have not. I also think that you will benefit from consulting a doctor anyhow for the lightheadedness, as it would reassure you even it has been a psychological issue. If there are other psychosocial issues that need to be dealt with, you might need to consult a psychiatrist.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
