Hi I am currently being evaluated for vasovago along with vestibular dysfunction. I am scheduled for a tilt test this month. ekg,stress test and ECHO are all normal. I suspect that anxiety is playing a role in this temporary rate rate increase but I would like your opinion

Hi There
If you already have been through all the basic cardiac tests and they were all normal, then you need not worry. Yes you are right ANXIETY/STRESS plays an important role in increasing the heart rate transiently. Start practicing YOGA daily as its a wonderful stress buster and it will also help you combat your vestibular dysfunction.
Good Luck
