That can certainly: occur with anxiety or panic. Please keep your physician appraised of your symptoms as that type of information is helpful as medications are being titrated.

EKG, ?Holter monitor: Many medications can cause heart rate changes. Did these occur shortly after introducing or adjusting the dose of your anti-anxiety or antidepressant meds? Is there a family history of heart disease? Anyone who has has sudden death or heart rhythm problems like atrial or ventricular fibrillation? Do you have a history of palpitations or runs of rapid heart rate not related to exertion? Supplement
