Can anxiety cause bradycardia?

Yes, anxiety can cause bradycardia. When you're anxious, your body releases adrenaline in response to the "fight or flight" stress response. This adrenaline can cause your heart rate to increase, and if it continues to increase for an extended period of time, it can eventually lead to bradycardia.

Bradycardia is a condition characterized by a slow heart rate. It's not usually dangerous on its own, but it can be a sign that something else is wrong with your health. If you experience symptoms such as lightheadedness, shortness of breath, or chest pain, you should consult a doctor immediately.
