Suggest Treatment For Numbness In Arm, Irregular Heartbeat And Weight Gain

I have been having the past several months an awarness of my heartbeat..shortness of breath, pounding heart which is 100x worse at night trying to sleep. Also palpatations and numbness of my arms and legs . I do suffer from anxiety but these symptoms happen on a daily basis all day and every night to the point where I cannot sleep. Feels like I cannot breath fully and my hearts going to stop plus I get hot flashes. Ive had a halter monitor done twice both were fine. Had an echo done which showed irregular heart rythyms. But nothing big. Also they said i have valvle regurge very mildyly. The symptoms are scary. Can some be because of weight or foods eaten/ poor diet? Ive been gaining weight a lot. Please help thank you.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thank you for posting your query.I can understand your anxiety.
The palpitations , breathlessness , hot flashes are nothing but the physical manifestations of your anxiety.
Don't be so much worried with your Echo report . It is certainly not that scary.
Try some relaxation techniques like consciously breathing in and out for 10 minutes a day.
Also take a balanced diet having cereals,proteins , loads of vegetables . Take 3-4 fruits a day . Drink plenty of water. Keep away from fried food , ice cream and soft drinks.
Keep in touch with your cardiologist. Have a nice day.
