Her heart rate did go up at times. The doctor had some tests done to rule out any serious illnesses. The tests came back okay so we still don't know why her heart does that some times, but her father has the same issue so it doesn't seem psychological.

From what I have read its supposed to be normal for your heart rate to go up a bit because of the adrenaline going threw the body but my fear is what if my heart rate not go back down

When I can't control my anxiety, I felt like I am going to have a heart attack and will faint afterwards.

Still you should go see a doctor just to be sure.
