Can Xanax Help With Arrhythmia?

Xanax is not typically used to treat arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). In fact, the use of Xanax may be contraindicated in people with certain heart conditions. Xanax is a benzodiazepine medication that is primarily used to treat anxiety and panic disorders. It works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter in the brain called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which helps to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. While Xanax may help to relieve anxiety-related symptoms, it is important to discuss any heart conditions with a healthcare provider before taking Xanax or any other medication.
