Good evening, Thanks for your time. I m struggling with heart palpations. I ve seen a cardio Doc and had several tests completed to include. Cardio Cath, Nuc Stress Test. and blood work. All came back normal. however, the Cardo Doc put me on a haltermonter for 14 days to check my heart rhythm. It came back I have rapid heart rate occasional. I m on 50 mg of metorprol extended release and lisinopril 20mg. I ve had a few episodes her the last six weeks that I m getting confused, light headed and adrenaline rushes in my chest with pain. I almost passed out yesterday when I had an episode. Do I need to get a second option or is this normal with AFIB.thanks

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
First of all no need to worry for any heart diseases because your all cardiac reports are normal.
Occasional tachycardia on Holter monitoring does not indicate atrial fibrillation.
This kind of tachycardia is commonly seen with stress and anxiety.
And palpitations, chest pain etc are commonly seen with anxiety.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
