Hello,
* The narrated changes of rapid heart rate with flutter indicate underlying stress-related response with release of adrenaline and noradrenaline affecting the cardiac pacemaker SA node and conduction pathway of Purkinje system.
However, you are strongly recommended to undertake an EKG to rule out anxiety burns out at this point.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
