I've been getting this thumping sensation in my heart at pretty regular intervals, and every time it happens, I start feeling anxious. It's been going on for the past couple of days. Do you have any idea what might be causing it?

This sensation of a thump in your heart at regular intervals, along with feelings of anxiety, could be due to palpitations. Palpitations are feelings that your heart is pounding or racing. In some cases, palpitations can be caused by stress, anxiety, or stimulants like caffeine. However, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you to take Tab. Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control the palpitations. It is important to follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.
