Heart pounding: To really know what your heart rhythm is, you will have an EKG which is of value if your symptoms occured during the 10 seconds that the EKG records. The best test is the wearing of a Holter Monitor for 24-48 hours with you're writing down any symptoms and when they occurred. This will determine if any cardiac rhythm abnormality actually occurs during your symptoms. If not, anxiety may be a cause.
