Anxiety: will trigger the "flight or fight" reaction which causes your heart to race. You may have had a bad experience with doctors in the past or have a predisposition (or both) to high anxiety in certain situations such as the medical setting. Anxiety or panic attacks, in the absence of medical factors, are treatable. See: http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/anxiety-disorders/index.shtml Take care.
