I'm really confused about why I'm experiencing heart palpitations even when I'm not feeling anxious. For the past year, I've been dealing with anxiety and have been taking etizolem and propranolol for a few months to help with it. But if I miss just one dose of etizolem, my heart starts racing and feels very uncomfortable. It's really scary. Is it possible that these palpitations are more related to anxiety, like my psychiatrist suggests, or could it be something else, maybe related to my heart? I haven't had panic attacks or any other anxiety symptoms recently, just the palpitations when I skip the medication.

It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and possibly withdrawal effects from Etizolam. Etizolam is a benzodiazepine derivative used to treat anxiety disorders, and sudden discontinuation can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as increased heart rate or palpitations. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that helps with heart palpitations and can be used in combination with Etizolam. To address your concerns, it is important to follow your psychiatrist's advice regarding the management of anxiety and heart palpitations. It is possible that the palpitations you are experiencing when skipping Etizolam are due to withdrawal effects, as benzodiazepines should be tapered off gradually under medical supervision to avoid such symptoms. In addition to continuing your current medications, you may also benefit from therapy or counseling to address underlying anxiety issues. It is important to discuss any concerns or new symptoms with your psychiatrist for proper management.

I'm dealing with severe anxiety and depression symptoms for the past few years, and I've had a couple of panic attacks. Now I'm seeing some ECG changes, but my Troponin levels are within normal limits. Both my ECHO and Angiography came out normal. Does this mean my heart is okay? Is it safe for me to do intense exercise? Sometimes I feel a sharp pain in my chest area that only lasts for a few seconds and goes away quickly. Any idea why my ECG has changed? What can I do about feeling weak all the time? And it's weird, but my feet are always cold. Any thoughts on what's going on?
The ECG changes could be related to your anxiety and panic attacks, but it's important to monitor them closely. To address the sharp pain in your heart area, you can take a low dose of a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) as needed for chest pain relief. For your weakness, you can try taking a daily dose of a multivitamin like Centrum to ensure you're getting essential nutrients. Cold feet can be improved by wearing warm socks and keeping your feet elevated when possible. Regular exercise is beneficial for anxiety and depression, but start with low to moderate intensity workouts and gradually increase the intensity based on your tolerance.
