Heart thuds and anxiety

2021-12-13 10:19:28
Hello doctor. I'm 21 yo. I have no history of heart attack or any such condition. Yet sometimes while I sitting or doing some work, I feel one or two strong beats in my chest. It's doesn't make me unconscious or anything. I just sit for two seconds and wait for them to go away on its own. It's does last for more than 2 secs. I Googled and I came to know there is a condition called VT. Now I'm SCARED. I'm just 21. My anxiety is through the roof. Even worse than before. I cannot sleep. I cannot do my work. I cannot study. I'm anxious ALL THE TIME. My brain starts coming up with these horrible horrible scenarios. Life has become miserable.

2 or 3 strong beats doesn't mean VT, your symptom is called palpitations which maybe due to anxiety, anemia, hypothyroidism etc. Do you have any symptoms other than palpitation? Kindly consult for proper evaluation and management
