Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to the heart.

Anxiety may mimic this clinical situation.

Anyway, before coming to this conclusion, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam, an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation, thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction, etc.).

You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
