A member asked:

Please help docs! is my heart rate always so high because of my anxiety disorder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Can't answer that: One for you. Medical causes would need to be ruled out before assuming that anxiety is the cause. Take care.
