Mitro Valve, Have Increased Heart Rate, High Pulse Rate, Trembling, Sweating, Headache, Shortness Of Breath, Lots Of Stress. Not A Panic Attack. Is It Due To Stress?

The last few days my heart has raced. I thought it was anxiety bc I have a TON TON of stress. No heart disease except mitro Valve with my Mom. I took my pulse and it s been 100-106 and shaky sweating and headaches. A little out of breath. Can stress do that and should I see a doc ? It s not a panic attack bc I ve had those. Thank you

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

Your symptoms could be anxiety-related. Anxiety can manifest itself with not only psychological symptoms, but with physical symptoms also. If you are having recurrent such symptoms or having difficulty managing your stress, then I would advise you consult a psychiatrist for a detailed psychological assessment and further treatment. There are effective treatment options - in the form of medication or counselling / psychotherapy which will help you overcome your problems.

Wish you all the best.
