Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to anxiety.

Nevertheless, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests in order to investigate for other possible causes:
- a resting ECG
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

If all the above tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your complaints.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
