Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My doctor has told me that I have Vtec( i think0 tacquicardia and I had some very very high heart rates. Usually at night when I wake up. I am now on blood pressure reducing pills as the side effect is that they block the incorrect electrical flow in my heart. However someimes I still wake up and roll over and my heart increases quickly in beat. However now it is perhpas only going from 55 to 95 for 30 seconds. Also if I get annoyed / excited the same thing happens. What could this be ?
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a cardiac arrhythmia.
I would like to review your test reports for a more professional opinion.
I would also recommend performing some tests in case you have not performed them yet:
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to investigate for cardiac arrhythmia - thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction - blood electrolytes for possible imbalance - complete blood count for anemia.
Hope to have been helpful!
I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
