We can live with: stressors so long that we do not consciously sense them but our body reacts to them. Please see your doc to rule out medical conditions. A clinical psychologist can help you identify and manage stress. Lifestyle issues are important. How is your diet, exercise level, amount of sleep, etc. Peace and good health.

See your doctor and address b ou th the anxiety and the potential that you may be having an irregular heart rhythm.
