I have been having these episodes lately where my heart will race, I get dizzy and nauseous and it lasts for about a minute or less. They come out of nowhere. Is it an anxiety attack, or I also have low blood pressure so is my heart trying to raise my blood pressure?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, stress and anxiety can cause similar symptoms. But better to first rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) and other heart diseases for your symptoms because you are having hypotension. So better to get done ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ECG). If all these are normal then no need to worry about arrhythmia or other heart diseases. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. . Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
