When I'm at home, my pulse is usually 58-74 range, BP usually 115-125 / 60-75 range, but DAMN do i get anxious in a hospital/MD office setting...

And of course, rapid heart rate will show on an EKG....But a cardiologist will know an anxiety driven rhythm as opposed to something more dangerous like V-tach, long pauses, etc...
