Heart Palpitations

She is having heart palpitations (especially feels in her lower neck) for 3 years. We have checked up for ECG and ECHO but both are normal. She takes too much stress and caffeine also. I tried to cut back caffeine but problem was not reduced. Now the problem is getting increased such as palpitations in full body, fear in dreams, sudden fear when called in sleep etc. When she walk or move on stairs, palpitations get increased. The doctor told us that it is due to anxiety. She had taken anxiety tablet and beta blocker for 3 months. After that she left it. We are very worried due to this problem and the problem increases after laying down.

Hello, She needs to do thyroid function tests to rule out hyperthyroidism. If all tests are normal then you have to continue on anti anxiety and beta blocker medications and start cognitive behavioural therapy by a counsellor simultaneously Take care. Stay safe
