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.
What Causes Skipped Heart Beats With Normal ECG In The Past?
My daughter is 18 years old and has been having skipped beats the past two days. She has a cold and periodically has had skipped beats in the past but never two days in a row. She had an echocardiogram when she was 13 because her doctor thought she heard a murmur. The structure of her heart is normal and no murmur was ever detected. Should I have her further evaluated?
Hi thanks for asking HCM I read your query and understand your concern Iny opinion you should schedule a rhythm holter for your daughter It is a device which is carried for 24 hours and will definitely rule out any rhythm problem Depending on it result further examination may be needed If it is normal you have no reason to worry too much Hope my answer with help you Regards Dr Drilona Kenga Cardiologists
