Well I get wierd chest pains and the other day i walked to my bedroom door and all of a sudden my hear started beating really hard and fast. like i could feel and hear it, i got scared and freaked out. i breathed calmly and lied down and it didn't stop until a few minutes after? i have anxiety, could it be something to do with that?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi sudden onset palpitations may be due to an electrical hyperactivity due to heart or maybe just increased subjective perception of normal heart beats due to anxiety. The best way to find is do a ecg during the episode, if normal than just forget about it. Also if episode are very short and impossible to get to hospital during that small window, but they occur daily, a holter monitor would be an option.
If this is an isolated episode and it doesn't occur again, forget about it. All work up if only the episode is repeated.
