What Causes Anxiety And Have MS?
Had a nuclear stress test October 2010 which was normal. Cardiologist said he considered me in a low risk category at that time. Was given this test because I was having PVC's. Had annual physical today and doctor said EKG was abnormal - and mentioned non-specific. He said he would fax EKG to the cardiologist to review. I have good cholesterol: 91 LDL, 12 VLDL, and 96 HDL. Triglycerides 58. I do suffer with anxiety and I also have MS. This is frightening to me.

I understand it is somewhat scary. But modern medicine has many treatment modality for cardiac diseases. So do not worry much.
Anxiety , you are feeling can be due to two reasons.
If your anxiety started after you came to know your cardiac problem, it is secondary.
if it is before that it is primary.
You didn't mention your anxiety in detail otherwise I can tell you more.
However any anxiety can be managed easily with low dose short acting benzodizepines medicines as well a with SSRI without any cardiac side effects. Just ask your doctor about that.
