Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety.

Anyway, before coming to this conclusion, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests in order to exclude other possible causes:

- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- complete blood count for anemia.

An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
