A member asked:

Does lack of vitamin b12 or vitamin d cause anxiety and racing heart?

Specializes in Cardiology

Unlikely: While low vitamin levels and poor nutrition can cause a whole host of issues its unlikely a direct cause and effect. The anxiety may cause the racing heart and the racing heart can create more anxiety . The cycle can feed on itself. The origin of the anxiety should be sought and treated.
