What causes rapid heart rate and body tremors?
Patient: i am 32years male, 65kg, 182cms tall. Recently a few times i felt my heart beat was rapid and my body was shaking when i climbed the stairs and when i was walking carrrying a 5kg bag .. It was for a couple min and wud ease down once i rest. There was no pain nor sweating. Will it be a case of heart disease?. I dnt smoke nor drink but eat a lot of fried foods and my family has got a history of heart disease. What simple tests could help me confirm that i dnt have aheart disease. Help Doctor: Hello! Do not worry, because what you refer does not look a serious problem. It can be a form of normal tachycardia. However, I would recommend you to do a cardiac evaluation; electrocardiogram (ECG), cardiac ultrasond and monitoring of a 24-hour rhythm (Holter rhythm 24 hours) and an evaluation of thyroid hormones.I hope to have helped you with my answer.
