i am a 35 year old female mother and I have smoked marijuana on and off for the past 15 years. I have been diagnosed in the past for depression and anxiety and I take xanax once a day. I also use gabba pentin for sleep.I have recently started feeling my heart fluttering the past 4 days . On average it happens about 6-10 times per day. Help! Thanks
Hi welcome to ChatDoctorI understand your query and concern. Irregular heart beat in your case are suggestive of any arrhythmias of heart which means abnormal conduction abnormality of heart that can be secondary to chronic stress and anxiety. I advise you to get an ECG,2 D Echo of your heart immediately to confirm the diagnosis. I also advise you to get lipid profile, complete blood picture, chest x-ray immediately as a part of routine check up. Chat Doctor. Avoid stress and anxiety. Avoid smoking, alcohol, fatty foods. Abnormal lipid profile if present in your case should be treated with atorvastatin. Monitor blood pressure and heart rate immediately. EP study and radiofrequency ablation will be the procedure of choice. Consult your cardiologist for expert management. Post your further queries if any, Thank you.
