Note: I did follow up with my regular doctor following the trip to the ER.
My doctor scheduling an appointment with a cardiologist.

The EKG showed an irregular rhythm but no cardiac event. The 1st cardiac enzyme test did show slightly raised. The 2nd test following the nitro showed ok. Zeros.

I do not have a history of seizures or loss of consciousness. I have been dizzy of and on for about 3 weeks.

Yes, I have been treated for anxiety and currently being treated for depression. I do not take anything for the anxiety such as Xanax.

Communicating with you is my first step to determine if I go to ER or to my doctor as soon as possible.

Brief Answer:
Did you get a Troponins test done?

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX,
Thanks for being in follow-up.

Slightly raised cardiac enzymes may not be of that significant.It would be better if you could upload the reports here that which enzymes were raised.Did you get Troponins level checked?
Further,repeat EKG may be required to see for any irregularities,if persist.
Besides,anxiety may also cause such an event.

However,keeping the broader picture in mind,I suggest you to visit an ER.Get the EKG repeated and Troponins.

Hope that helps.If you have some further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up else please close the thread,rate it and write a review.
