Well... Somehow I have an arrhythmia, and now we're trying to determine exactly what the cause is. I was convinced I was having anxiety attacks for almost a week before I actually went to the doctor for chest pain and shortness of breath (along with diarrhea, stomach cramps, shoulder aches, insomnia, and a racing heartbeat, to a lesser degree). I really think most of my problem is anxiety. Can anyone tell me if anxiety attacks can cause an arrhythmia?

Thanks,
