What Causes Irregular Heart Beats?
Question: I have a strong heart beat followed by a weak one
Brief Answer:
An arrhythmia should be ruled in / out
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would like to explain that your symptoms may be related to an extra systolic arrhythmia (bigeminy).
I recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, and some lab tests (a complete blood count, kidney and liver function tests , thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolytes,etc.).
If arhythmia is confirmed an ambulatory 24 hours ECG monitoring and a cardiac ultrasound should be performed.
Hope to have been helpful!
Feel free to ask any other questions whenever you need!
Greetings! Dr. Iliri
