What causes palpitation and breathlessness?
Patient: Hi Doc, my wife having WPW in the past and she gone through some procedure. Few months after, she is still continue having extra hearth pulputation and difficult in breathing. She went for a 24hrs ECG monitoring and found that she is having high hearth pulputation upto 120 per min in rest situation. And she went to untra-sound to check the condition of the hearth, but the Doc said that the heart is strong and normal, and the high pulputation is normal as well.... If everthing is normal, why the extra pulputation is there and she continue suffer short in breathing few times a day now? Please help. Thank you. Doctor: probably your wife has undergone Electrophysiological study and ablation of accessory pathway in the past for WPW syndrome. now she is again having palpitation which may occur in recurrence of the disease.breathlessness can also occur during palpitation episodes. So again Electrophysiological study and if required radio frequency ablation may have to be done.
