Automatic interpretation of my EKG always comes with this result :Abnormal EKG consider Ischemia or Atrial Flutter.

I have had Chest CT, Calcium score and Event monitor tests done but nothing found so far.

I usually get continuous lightheadedness , flutter and doctor said it could be Anxiety. I tried lorazepram but it didnt help me.

I have had many tests done so far including colonoscopy , CT , Brain CT , Brain MRI but all are normal.

Can anxiety cause your EKG to be abnormal ? ( Asking it here because I fear to ask this question to my doctor 😄 )

    Yes, it can. It's in the medical literature. Emotions can definitely affect cardiac function.

    You should never fear asking a question of your doctor, he's the person who is supposed to

    be objective about anything a patient might ask. Good luck, feel better soon.
