Should I Be Concerned For The Palpitations And Anxiety And Bursitis?

My daughter has had anxiety on and off for several years. Most recently she saw a rhuematologist because of shoulder pain. MRI showed some bursitis. The doctor suggested she may have some hyper mobility of her joints. She suggested she could have Marfan s and asked if she had palpitations. Because of her anxiety, she stated occasionally. Since the mention of this, my daughter has complained of palpitations regularly. Should I be concerned?

I understand your query and concern.
Palpitations indicates arrhythmias of heart.I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography,ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart.Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day.Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a daily is useful.Drugs like antihypertensives and antiarrhythmics,syrup.An antibiotic course will help to relieve your bursitis .Reduce the intake of fatty and fried food.Electrophysiological study with or without Radiofrequency ablation is the procedure of choice in your case.You may also need Coronary angiogram to look for any co existent blocks in the heart. Consult a Cardiologist and discuss for further expert management.
