It's possible: But first you must rule out significant illness by seeing your primary care practitioner. You may need an evaluation by a cardiologist. Once it has been determined that stress/anxiety is the trigger of your symptoms, there are many things you can do to help yourself! anxiety is often triggered by thoughts, beliefs. A psychotherapist, counselor or mind-body medicine practitioner can help you.
