Hello,

Brief answer: Palpitations get worse with anxiety. Sure need a cardiologist consultation. Simple rate control with medication would help.

Explanation: My opinion is that palpitations have many causes: anemia, anxiety, caffeinated drinks, some diseases like heart failure, ischemia, etc.

Normal EKG is a good thing but needs to be followed up if complaint persists may do a Holter that is simply a record to your heart beats. I suggest my people the following avoid anxiety, excess coffee, do some labs like CBC. Get a Holter and electrocardiogram. Give a low dose beta blocker if no contraindications. The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion. If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them about medical history.

Conclusion: I suggest you check your GP and ask about rate control drugs and if they fit in your condition till your cardiology check.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahmmad Gamal
