dear madam
elevated heart rate and being aware of your heart rate ie palpitation, breathlessness, elevated systolic blood pressure, funny butterfly feeling in the stomach are all symptoms of anxiety, but to be doubly sure please do visit your GP as your RN suggested, and get any other co existing issue ruled out
