Anxiety attacks do they show a problem with fast heart on ecg when having one or A F feeling confused

Hi

When you are having a panic attack your heart will quicken up so I would imagine this would show on an ecg but they should be able to detect that this is the cause , bit f course only a doctor could tell you for sure

If you could expand a little why you are feeling confused , I am wondering if you have had an ecg & this is what they have told you ?

Love

Hi whywhy I havent been on here for a while I been going through a hard time with my son he been getting high blood pressure and fast pulse they kept saying he was having panick or aanxiety attacks but he been getting worse by the days he got a lovely job and doing well untill 3nights ago he felt as if he was sinking and pain in his chest and a a crushing feeling I phoned an ambulance they said for a 20yr old no way should his heart be beating that fast it showed a f and now hes been referred to cardiologist but he looks so ill when he has a funny turn im confused due to a heart problem or can this happen during a anxiety attack x

Hi

Well I am not a doctor so I really wouldn't like to say what is the cause even though both could give you the same symptoms

I am pleased he is been referred to a cardiologist as this will help to give you both peace of mind & in the meantime if either of you are worried I wouldn't hesitate to contact my GP or even A&E

I am sorry my reply may not have been much help but let us know how he gets on

Hi

I was given an ecg when I stated getting chest pains after my dad died and was told it was anxiety related. Would recommend you goto see your gp for reassurance
