What Is The Treatment For Rapid Heart Rate?
When I get around weird people, my heart starts pounding like I'm having a heart attack. My boyfriend has a lot of friends, and he tries to invite me to go with him, but I get so scared and nervous, I stay locked up in the house. What is wrong with me

Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms are not related to any cardiac disorder.
Anxiety seems to be the main cause of all your complaints. You should know that the type of fear you have is also called agoraphobia.
I would recommend consulting with a psychotherapist to help you manage anxiety.
In my opinion, there is no need to perform any additional cardiac tests.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
