Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to anxiety, considering the fact that your Holter monitoring has resulted normal. Anyway, I recommend checking your thyroid hormone levels in order to exclude possible thyroid gland dysfunction. A Head Up Tilt test is also necessary to investigate for possible orthostatic intolerance (postural tachycardia syndrome) which could be related to neuropathy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Iliri
