anxiety leads to irregular heart rate ..and standard treatment for this is low dose beta blockers and antianxiety drug ...usually antianxiety drugs are habit forming ..if you donot want to take these drugs please cut down on coffee ...go for walk ...busy yourself in some hobby or social cause ..practice deep breathing ...relaxation exercises and meditation ...if no effect with these ..meet a psychiatrist ...he may do counselling
