For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam, a cardiac ultrasound, a resting ECG and some blood lab tests to exclude the above mentioned possible causes.
An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia. You should discuss with your attending physician on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist

Suggest Treatment For Heart Palpitations
Hello, I understand your concern and would explain that chronic alcohol intake can trigger cardiac arrhythmia, even in young patients like you. Other possible causes to consider would be anxiety, electrolyte imbalance, chronic anaemia, thyroid gland dysfunction, etc. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam, a cardiac ultrasound, a resting ECG and some blood lab tests to exclude the above mentioned possible causes. An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia. You should discuss with your attending physician on the above tests. Hope I have answered your query.
