Can social anxiety cause arrhythmia? in stressful situations my heart rate goes up and then i start to experience short and nasty beat irregularities.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: But i will recommend to get a holter test and an ekg if you haven't done it to r/o a real arrhythmia or conduction abnormality. Also avoid excess of coffe, energy drinks and if other symptoms like headaches, sweating, heat intolerance, tremors are present get a thyroid test. Stay hydrated and eat healthy.
