A member asked:
Will anxiety cause irregular heartbeat. sumtimes my heart will beat twice then there's a pause & will start beating regular again. happens daily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: This is a common symptom of anxiety. I'd suggest a good psych eval and treatment in CBT therapy. If meds are seen to be needed, the therapist will refer for that. This is often a fairly easy symptom to relieve if you are willing to learn skills for anxiety mgmt. Best wishes!
