Suggest treatment for irregular heart beat and breathlessness
Patient: from since a young age i always had irregular heart beats. eg i was playing football when all of a sudden my heart started beating alot faster than usual, with chest pains on the right and short of breath. i ocassional suffer these attacks even when i sit down. now i regularly get irregular beats, where my chest hurts and at times short of breath from lying down... Doctor: Hi thereAfter going through your query I understand your concern.I would like to tell you, palpitations along with shortness of breath is more likely to happen due to cardiac Arrythmias and it requires further evaluation to avoid fetal cardiac events. Kindly get your ECG, treadmill test or stress echocardiography done and see a Cardiologist with reports for further management.Hope to have been helpful.Kind Regards Dr Navneet Bansal
