I have a hard heart beat , it's like stoped for a second and bit again it's hard to explain and chest pain , Is it anxiety? I did only EKG and 24 Holter Minitor but this palpitation doesn't happened when I wore the Holter , which Test should I do ?
I am 25 years old male and I started taking Cipralex 10mg feed days ago , it's help me out to not overthinking but the physical symptoms are still happening
Hey Pedro
My heartbeat also stopped one time and it scared me. I don't think it was anything... I've been fine all these years after it happened. Anxiety can cause many things. Atrial fibrillation can be diagnosed with a EKG test ask your health care provider for one if you still believe you need it. Good Luck👍
"An anxiety attack can actually cause the heart to have an atrial fibrillation episode."
Yes ! This is anxiety. Not heart attack
I had this for five years , went to see heart doctor diagnosed as atrial fibrillation. Ten months ago, I had a very serious one , went to ER, the doctor said it is not atrial fibrillation, it was actually a serious panic attack.
So, I was actually misdiagnosed for five years.
Hi , thank you
Tell me please is the atrial fibrillation episode something serious ! Should I worry about ?
Which test should I do to be should that my heart is fine because I only did Holter monitor and EKG
Hi Peter thank you for reassuring me , I appreciate it but please can you discribe me more how did you felt , at least I can explain it to my doctor and how did you felt ...
Hi Pedro,
My symptoms at a panic attack
1. Shortness of breath
2. Heart pumping hard
3. Feeling tired and need to sit down and rest in a quiet place where no one can interrupt me
4. I measured my heart beat pattern with a ecg device while I was having panic attack , I saw skipping beat, messy beating pattern
5. When it was very serious, I felt like having a heart attack and was going to die
Yes exactly it's pumping hard , but even I am not thinking about it and I am enjoying my day , it's occur also and change my good mood to bad mood , that's why I am thinking it's not anxiety and it could be something serious
Anxiety / panic disorder is due to hormone unbalance at the hippocampus region of the brain. Hippocampus is the center that regulates your heartbeat, breathing, etc. There are short acting meds that change GABA receptors behavior and long acting meds that manipulate serotonin levels in your brain. Those meds are what the whole theory of psychiatry built on. Some people benefits from the meds, some dont .
I have been in meds for a year now, still not fully recovered .
Thank you
It was the EKG. If it all turned out fine then you are alright. It's your Anxiety causing it.
Take Care👍
