Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to anxiety.
Nevertheless, I would recommend performing some tests in order to exclude any possible cardiac arrhythmia or metabolic disorders:
- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- complete blood count for anemia.
A 24-48 ECG Holter monitoring would help exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia.
If these tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your complaints.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
