General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi Welcome to HCM.
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms could be related to stress and anxiety.Irregular heartbeat is known to alter the blood supply to the brain leading to impaired function in a transient way.Few drugs like beta blockers are certainly known to reduce the heart rate.I advise you to have a complete 24 hour holter ECG which can accurately determine the cardiac conduction abnormalities. Monitor your blood pressure and heart rate.Drugs like amiodarone can also help to minimise the rhythm irregularities.A 2 Dimensional echocardiography will help to assess the functional reserve of the heart ruling out organic heart lesions.Electrophysiological study and Radiofrequency ablation will be helpful once any abnormality detected.Meditation and yoga will be helpful.
Consult your cardiologist for expert management
