Short PR interval: Short PR interval < 0.12 msec is associated with Lown-Ganong -Levien syndrome and Wolf-Parkinsons-White syndrome. I would follow up with cardiologist specifically an electrophysiologist cardiologist -they know EKGs- and make sure you don't have that-because that can be treated and is significant before attributing it to anxiety. Everyone in US is anxious and stressed.
