Can anxiety cause bradycardia?

Yesterday I went to a cardiologist, got an ECG and an echocardiogram, results showed nothing, I have a healthy heart although I’ll be followed by a holter monitor to detect when the bradycardia occurs.

I tend to be super anxious all the time, I would get palpitations but no one ever mentions it slowing the heart, is that even possible?

Hi Pami619,

It is a complex issue but this article may be of interest.

medicalnewstoday.com/articl... Do as much research as you can to inform yourself Pami, so that you can ask the right questions that apply to your situation.

I hope this helps a little. Keep strong. x
