Thank you for reaching out and sharing what you’re experiencing—it takes courage to speak so openly about your struggles. What you're describing sounds very consistent with health anxiety and panic-related symptoms, especially the fear around heart rate changes and the repeated monitoring of your body. It’s reassuring to hear that your ECGs have been normal and that multiple cardiologists have not found any serious medical issues. Sinus tachycardia, while understandably distressing, is often a normal response to anxiety, movement, or emotional stress—especially when the body is in a heightened state of alert due to worry or fear. Health anxiety can create a powerful cycle: noticing a symptom (like increased heart rate), becoming fearful of what it might mean, which then increases anxiety—and in turn, raises the heart rate further. This is a common and treatable pattern. Psychological support can be very effective in managing this. Therapy can help you: Understand the mind-body connection Learn to respond to physical symptoms with less fear Develop tools to manage panic and reduce checking behaviors Regain confidence in daily activities like walking, talking, and social interaction You're not alone in this, and help is absolutely available.
Next Steps
If you're open to it, I’d be glad to support you in learning how to manage these feelings and gradually rebuild a sense of calm and safety within your body.

Hi Your heart is healthy. Your fast heartbeat happens because of anxiety, not heart disease. Checking your BP and HR repeatedly increases fear, which keeps your heart rate high. Start gradual activity, slow breathing, and stop constant checking. Therapy will help you break this fear cycle. Your heart is okay; it’s your anxiety that needs treatment now. Take therapy.

Hi, I understand. what you are experiencing sounds like health anxiety—a condition where normal body sensations, like a rising heart rate, can be misinterpreted as signs of serious illness. The fact that your ECGs are normal and cardiologists have confirmed sinus tachycardia (a faster but regular heartbeat) is a strong indication that your heart is healthy, and that anxiety is the main factor behind what you are feeling. It is important to know that during moments of stress, activity, or face-to-face conversations, your body naturally goes into a “fight or flight” response, which raises your heart rate. This reaction is common in anxiety and does not mean your heart is failing or weak—it means your nervous system is on high alert. Here are a few steps that can help: • Start therapy, ideally CBT, with a psychologist who understands health anxiety and panic symptoms. • Reduce frequent checking of your heart rate or blood pressure, as this can worsen the anxiety cycle. • Practice calming techniques daily, like deep breathing: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 6. • Avoid searching symptoms online, as this often increases fear and confusion rather than relief. You have already taken a brave first step by reaching out—now with small, steady actions and guided help, you can begin to feel safe, in control, and more at ease in your body and mind.

Hi...Please visit a Cardiologist fact-to-face and get through with the tests to verify there is no issue with your heart or other vital organs. Post covid heart related ailments and even deaths have increased and we need to be doubly sure before attributing these symptoms to health anxiety. Although, treatment of panic attacks or health anxiety is relatively simple and can be addressed with regular therapy sessions. In some cases, medications are also used to suppress the symptoms immediately. But ultimately the long term relief and recovery comes through therapy only. Please be mindful, misunderstanding health anxiety as heart ailment is far less fatal than misunderstanding heart ailment as health anxiety.
Next Steps
Consult a Cardiologist face-to-face. Get through with heart and other vital tests. Consult a Psychologist. CBT along with Lifestyle Guidance and Interpersonal Counselling is required.

Hi, I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way. It's understandable that health anxiety can cause significant distress, especially when you're experiencing symptoms like increased heart rate and frequent panic attacks. While your cardiologists have confirmed that your ECGs are normal and the sinus tachycardia is likely benign, it's important to address the anxiety itself, as it can perpetuate the symptoms. Managing health anxiety often involves a combination of reassurance from medical professionals, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to challenge fearful thoughts, and relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or mindfulness. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting a mental health professional who can help you develop strategies to reduce anxiety and improve your overall well-being. Remember, your health is being carefully monitored, and most cases like yours are benign and manageable.
