Heart palp: This could be breakthrough panic or anxiety. There are medical conditions, including hyperthyroidism, and many others, that can cause this. Talk to your md. Xanax (alprazolam) is short acting . Consider asking about other treatments that would cover your symptoms more effectively on a daily basis, if needed. After you check out your physical status

In JAN I had bad chest/shoulder pain and went to ER. They said anxiety. Pain in arm continued for a month. Now I can't catch breath, & have itching/burning in upper left part of abs. Heart issue ruled out. Xanax/PPIs don't treat. Is it really stress?
Do I have heart failure? I'm 18 with sleep apnea, chronic stress, hbp, fatigue, palpatation, short of breath and many other issues that aren't solved
How can you tell difference between heart palpitation and arrhythmia? Occasionally get fluttering heartbeat, not necessarily related to stress or exercise. Has happened through adult life, only lasts for seconds at a time. Feels scary, but goes away.
