Please refer to the detailed answer below

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

After going through the medical details provided by you i can very well understand your concern and i would like to tell you that as you are experiencing palpitations which are not getting recorded on ECG so for that i would like to suggest you to discuss with your cardiologist about the option of HOLTER monitoring which will continously record your ECG for 24 hrs while you will be doing your regular daily activities at home.

Second thing is about your stress and anxiety levels. I would like to suggest you to take the help of a good psychologist who can assist you in dealing with that problem and can also provide appropriate meds if required.

I hope this information will guide you properly.

Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
