Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.
I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice.
I would strongly suggest you speak with a doctor about the symptoms you are experiencing. Although anxiety can cause heart palpitations that are not necessarily dangerous, this could be something else. Your doctor should check to make sure there is no physical causes for your symptoms. If there is no physical cause, you can talk with your doctor about what other actions you can take to help improve the symptoms.
