Cardiologist diagnosed me with sinus arrhythmia and said it was nothing to be concerned about.
But then my GP said that Anxiety is whats causing it
so i'm a bit confused now.
I dont have tachycardia as my rhr is usually 64.
any idea of what it might be?

Is this the same thing as sinus tachycardia? Or is it an actual type of arrhythmia?

No,
Sinus arrythmia is a abnormal beat, skipped beat.
Sinus Tach is a fast heart rate, over 100

I do know that breathing can cause sinus arrhythmia. I googled it after one of my EKGs said i had normal sinus rhythm with sinus arrhythmia. It's more common in children, but can happen to anyone. And since anxiety typically leads to breathing difficulties in some, I would guess that anxiety could definitely cause sinus arrhythmia.

Is it harmful ?
And not only does anxiety make it worse
But I also have a Nasal Turbinate swelling which doesn't allow too much air flow through one of my nostrils /:

So anxiety is the cause of sinus arrythmia ?
And what were your symptoms ?

I didn't say it was the cause. I said it could be. Doctors I talked to said it was normal for a healthy person to have sinus arrhythmia on an EKG.
