Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Heart Palpitations

I have recently had more episodes of anxiety, more heart palpitations, went to a cardiologist they made me wear a heart monitor, in the mean time my doctors will not change my medicine. I feel like I am breaking down and need to be sent to a doctor just for a evaluation. I am mentally and physically exhausted. Are there any places or anyone I can talk to

Hi welcome to HCM.
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms are related to Arrhythmias of heart secondary to stress and anxiety.I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography,ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart.Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day.Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a day for 5 days a week is pretty useful.Drugs like antihypertensives and antiarrhythmics will help.Also you need to take betablocker by discussing with your doctor.Reduce the intake of fatty and fried food.One pomegranate a day will help to keep your heart at good pace without clot formation.Meditation and yoga will hep Consult a Cardiologist for further expert management.
Post your further queries if any.
