Hi dr., I have bad anxiety, a few days ago I had an EKG because I thought something was up with my heart. They took a look and it was ok. Today I m a little anxious and I ve been having life a fluttering in my chest and some pain on the left side of my chest, off and on for just a half second. I m not sure if it s muscle pain or something more serious. Any information would be helpful.
Thanks for your question fluttering sensation in the chest can be due to -tachycardia secondary to anxiety or heart ailments-gastritis you need to visit a physician or a cardiologist to rule out any organic disease and a psychiatrist who can give you treatment regarding anxiety disorder I consider prescribing antidepressants, beta blockers and if needed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors to my patients you can discuss these modalities with your physician to guide you with the best treatment thanks feel free to ask more questions
