Do I need to worry about panic attacks and irregular heartbeats?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. If you haven't undergone any tests yet, it is crucial to take proactive steps in that direction. I recommend getting an ECG, a 2D echocardiogram, and a blood pressure check to assess your cardiovascular health. If you suspect it may be a panic attack, it is essential to be mindful of situations that may trigger it and try to avoid them. During such episodes, rest and relaxation can be helpful. However, before addressing anxiety, I strongly advise visiting a cardiologist to rule out any potential cardiac issues. Once cardiac concerns are ruled out, appropriate treatment for anxiety can be discussed, which may include medications for managing panic attacks. Take care of yourself, and I hope you recover soon.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. I reiterate my previous response; it is essential to consult with a cardiologist rather than a psychologist to evaluate your condition thoroughly. Until a cardiac cause is ruled out, it is premature to conclude whether your symptoms are related to panic attacks or anxiety. Neglecting these symptoms could have severe implications for your health. It is important to consider that this condition might have a hereditary component, but regardless, it necessitates proper medical treatment and evaluation by a cardiologist to ensure your well-being.
