Is this anxiety? I'm really stressed about my symptoms

I have an oximeter at home to give me reassurance when I feel like I'm short of breath sometimes, I'll check my oxygen levels that reads 99 and heart rate in the 70s, but sometimes my heart rate will fall in the 50s and I will start panicking and not sure if anxiety and GERD can change your heart rate, since common symptoms of both are shortness of breath. Will I be okay? I can't stop stressing right now, since I'm really worried on my health.

    Hi

    I don't know if the GERD can do that, but the anxiety can definitely do it. Anxiety can do so much and much of it is not even on the Internet.
