What Causes Heart Palpitation In A Patient With Anxiety Disorder?
Hi I m a 19 year old female who is fairly heathy. Today I started having these random but single hard heart beats. The beat feels like a heart beat when you have been working out and the heart is beating really hard. But it only lasts for 1-2 beats and it s gone. Then a few mins later it does it again. I have anxiety issues and wonder if this is the cause. But the weird thing is my anxiety always makes my belly hurt and my hands get cold and I normally get cold sweats. But none of that is happening. It is only my heart beat. It s really uncomfortable and is making me worry.
hello, I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.your complaints of awareness of hart beats lasting for sometimes appear to be due to extra systoles.This may be benign at your age and may be simple fast rate due to anxiety.However i suggest you to get one ECG done which may pick up type of heart beats.You may take mouth dissolving Clonazepam Tab.0.5 mg for immediate relief. If it continues then you should get and Echocardiogram done to rule out conditions like MVP etc.Mostly you dont have serious problem,but it should be evaluated. My best wishes Dr.Rajesh Teli,MD.
