A member asked:
Can irregular heartbeats due to anxiety be dangerous ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irregular heartbeats: I think it would be first priority to make sure that these irregular heartbeats are truly just due to anxiety and not to some intrinsic heart rhythm disturbance or systemic medical issue. Depending on cause, irregular heartbeats themselves can be dangerous, and as such they require investigation into cause.
