Hi i was diagnoised with A fib last year in AE very fast and irregular beat , some days i also have irregular beats with a normal rate seem to get it when im stressed or excited , these irregular beats make me feel really anxious, and i think the anxiety makes them worse, are these irregular beats also A fib? Should i be on medication ? Im a otherwise healthy 47 year old male.
Hi I will suggest that you should get your BP checked and get ECG done and chest X-ray. If there is a defect then get it treated. If all are normal then please go for ECG whenever you get episode of fast heart beat. Avoid smoking, alcohol and coffee. Get assessed for anxiety from a psychiatrist. You may try deep breathing during stressful state of mind. If you are satisfied with my answer then please vote helpful. With Regards Chat Doctor.
