Suggest treatment for rapid heart beat
Patient: i have been having these weird spells. my heart beats fast regulary. bout 90 a min, sometimes faster and them i get real hot sick to my stomack and feel like im going to pass out. my doc here said anxeity. my lips also stay numb. i dont believe its anxeity. Doctor: Hello,Your recent clinical symptomatology is highly suspicious of a potential cardiac arrhythmia. Irregular fast heart beating and near fainting support such a conclusion.Coming to this point, it is necessary discussing with your cardiologist on the possibility of performing a careful physical exam and additional medical tests as follows:- Resting ECG- Complete Blood Count- Thyroid hormones level- Blood electrolytes level- Fasting blood glucose- Cardiac ultrasound, liver and renal function testsIn case an intermittent cardiac arrhythmia is suspected, an ambulatory ECG (Holter) monitoring is advisable.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Ilir Sharka
