Cardiologist 's  Response
Hi
You are already diagnosed to have Anxiety.
Your sensations of discomfort are in agreement with anxiety
It does not suggest a hear problem at all.
All the same, it is advisable to see the cardiologist. You have written - "tachichardya". I presume it is tachycardia. It means your heart rate is fast. Seeing a heart doctor does not mean it is heart disease. Even without suspecting heart problem, sometimes opinion is advised to have base line study for prescription purposes. A normal heart as confirmed by the cardiologist gives great relief to the patient as well as her physician.
Go ahead and make sure
Good luck
