Should I Be Worried For Increased Heart Rate And Anxiety Attacks?

I'm a 33 year old female, 5'2" and 145 lbs. I was diagnosed with MS in December 2009. Since a month after having my third son in January, I've been having panic/anxiety like attacks. My resting heart rate right now is about 94. Should I be worried? I don't normally check my pulse rate but with the attack I'm having now, my heart feels like it's racing.

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Palpitation and increase heart rate is part of anxiety. If you take tension about these symptoms, then it would increase more. In that case, better to stay relax and take few antidepressants after psychiatrist consultation. You can also try relaxation exercise that would keep you relax.

Thanks
