General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Most probably it is due to excessive anxiety. However, it is better to consult a physician and get an ECG to rule out possible cardiac causes.

Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
