I have anxiety plus having irregular heart beat, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irregular heart beat: Need to undergo ekg, holter or event monitor to identify your arrhythmia. It should be treated. Anxiety could increase ventricular rate especially in the setting of irregular heart beat. Then you need to get antianxiety medications. Consult your physician to get systematic work-up. Also you need to check your thyroid harmone levels.
