A member asked:

Could my heart sx be caused by "soldiers heart" or "irritable heart"? i have clear cardiac symptoms but heart is fine on tests. i am very anxious.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PTSD: "Soldier's Heart" is just another name for Battle Fatigue, Shell Shock, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. If you have palpitations, they should be addressed for what they are: irregularity of the heart rhythm. The vast majority are benign, but your anxiety is a valid reason to evaluate them (so that you can be reassured).
