Question 6

I did all of my heart tests yesterday like ECG, echo, and TMT, and everything was normal. But today, my heart rate went up to 120 bpm because of anxiety. I got scared while watching a movie and now I'm just really worried. Could this affect my heart?...

Accepted Answer

based on your description, it seems like you experienced palpitations and an increase in heart rate due to anxiety. Since your recent heart-related tests (ECG, echo, TMT) were normal, there is likely no immediate cause for concern. To help manage your anxiety-induced palpitations, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily. This can help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations during stressful situations. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication. In the meantime, practicing relaxation techniques and deep breathing exercises may also help alleviate anxiety-related palpitations. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid excessive caffeine intake as well.
