Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
I passed carefully through your concern and would explain that it seems that your are experiencing repeated episodes of cardiac arrhythmia.
Whether we are in front of just an extra-systolic arrhythmia or a more complex one (recurrent atria fibrillation or tachycardia, etc. or even ventricular tachycardia) this remains to be determined by an ambulatory 34 to 48 hours ECG monitoring.
In addition it is necessary performing several other tests:
- cardiac ultrasound,
- thyroid hormones level,
- blood electrolytes level,
- renal and liver function tests,
- fasting blood glucose,
- chest X ray study
Only after concluding on the potential triggering factors and the exact nature of cardiac arrhythmia it will be possible to define the most appropriate therapy.
You need to discuss with your doctor on the above mentioned issues.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
