Hey Muppet, it is entirely normal to have anxiety with any heart-related health problem, ...welcome to the club. Do your best to not let it overwhelm you. A visit to a cardiologist should help you figure out your next steps, ....don't worry, medication, echocardiogram, stress test or??? ...there are a lot of tests a cardiologist could ask for. I think a two week heart monitor, such as the Zio Patch, would give your cardiologist a better idea of what is going on. ....something you could ask about anyway as 24 hours of monitoring does not really give you a full picture of what is going on and you probably had increased anxiety for those 24 hours.
Check in again after you get some results back, ...or just reach out; this is a great group that could help set your mind at ease.
All the best!

@aard Thank you so much for your reply. I hoping after my Family Doctor appointment that he can get me a referral to a Cardiologist. It will probably take months. Im going to write down what you said so that i cant bring it up at my appointments. It feels like my anxiety is a huge cause but i need to know more.
Thanks again!!
