What Causes Heart Palpitations While Treating OCD?

I have OCD that is severe. When I gst anxious I ll notice the heart palpitations. Also, sometimes when I inhale deeply and fast it will flutter for a second. Sometimes when i move a heavy object at work and exert force it will flutter too. Is this something i should get checked out?. Doctors have taken my blood and everything is stable. My cholesterol was really good last year. They seem to think this is all due to stress and anxiety. Any help?

Hi,

Heart palpitations are a common feature of anxiety. Since you have been checked by tests also that didn't show anything serious about the heart, you should not be worried much more than necessary. Just follow up with a Psychologist.

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