Hi, I m a 19 year old male facing some potential heart issues. Randomly my heart will slow way down for a few seconds and then return back to normal. I have anxiety but I can t help but feel there s something wrong with my heart. It usually occurs while sitting down for awhile and sometimes when i have sex. I ll feel a little bit dizzy and get a weird feeling in my neck during. Occasionally i have chest pain, but my doctors say its my anxiety or related to the stomach issues I ve been having. What could possibly be wrong with me?
Hi, I can understand your concern regarding your symptoms. The symptoms that you have mentioned can very well be manifestations of anxiety. Since you have visited a doctor, I assume that your cardiac evaluation would have been done. If not, you can get an ECG done just to rule out any cardiac cause. That will help you overcome your doubts regarding your heart. You should also consider starting treatment for your anxiety. You can seek a psychiatric consultation for the same. Treatment with medications like paroxetine will be helpful. Hope the information provided was helpful. Best wishes
