Could The Low BP And Pulse Rate Be Due To Anxiety?

Hi I'm 27 years old. I am 5 3.5" tall and weigh about 136. Back in July I went into the hospital for heart palpitations. My heart rate was at 122. They did an x-ray, EKG, and 6 different blood tests. Everything came back fine. My tsh level was at 6.26. They said that it's just anxiety. About a few weeks later, I went back into the hospital for heart palpitations and they did another x-ray and more blood tests. The x-ray came back fine along with the EKG. My tsh level this time was 8.1. They said it's just anxiety and sent me on my way. I since then have had, an echocardiogram, which came back as I have a trivial mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation. They told me that it's nothing to worry about. I've also had a 24 hour holter monitor and that came back fine. I've had an MRI without contrast because I've been complaining of dizziness, and that came back fine. The doctors just keep telling me I have anxiety. Right now, I feel like I have tingly sensation in my left arm and leg and I am weak and dizzy. I also have pressure near my heart and my left shoulder blade hurts. My blood pressure is also 102/72 and my pulse rate is 74. Could all of this be anxiety?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I am afraid that the current symptom also could be related to anxiety. The pulse rate is 74. Blood pressure is not low but reasonable. The pain around your chest, shoulder blade etc are due to anxiety.

I should ask you a question. Why are you always think about the same thing in an obsessive way? if your doctor and all these tests confirm that you are normal, then you should believe it and ignore any other related symptom and enjoy the life. Otherwise this is what happens and you ruin your today for nothing.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
