Hello

After reviewing the medical query raised by you I can understand your concern and I would like to tell you that from the information provided by you, your issues seems to be related to stress.

Any stress or anxiety issues stimulate our brain which in turn triggers our heart rate. This becomes a vicious cycle.

I would personally like to review your ecg and other reports. Kindly upload the same.

Kind Regards
