Specializes in Psychiatry

Anxiety: Anxiety can temporarily increase your heart rate and cardiac output, but it will not adversely affect your test results. There is help for ongoing anxiety (and also depression that your additional info mentions). A psychiatrist can provide a comprehensive evaluation and offer treatment suggestions.
