Hello,

Had there been aything wrong with heart ECG is sensitive enough to pick it: so, if that is normal - please dont stress yourself. And in a way you should be thankful that your cardiac status is good..

now, anxiety is definitely the next and most common cause of your symptoms. There need not be any obvious reason for your anxiety and restlessness. With treatment this will surely go away.

Do get your thyroid levels and vit B12 levels- as they too can be disturbed and lead to the currrent set of symptoms.

Drugs like- sertraline or paroxetine are good to treat anxiety and other symptoms you have. The drugs are safe and after proper treatment duration they can be stopped successfully.

Good luck.
