default
Posted on Tue, 21 Jan 2020
Question: I seem to get heart palpitations here and there and sometimes they are quite frequent. I bought an Apple Watch and recorded some 30 second ECGs. Is it possible to send you copies of a few of these to have you take a look?

Yes I am a 40 year old female. I do not smoke or drink at all. I usually have just one 12 ounce cup of coffee each morning. These have been coming and going for several months now. I can’t seem to figure out what brings them on but maybe they start again a week before my monthly cycle? I’m trying to figure out if the ecg’s look concerning or maybe just hormones. I am fit. 112 pounds. 5’3. No medication or ailments.
Can you look at the attachments and see if there are concerns on them? I noticed they are quite different sometimes when it skips it is up and sometimes it is down. Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Hello again

Detailed Answer:
Yes there are ectopics in these ecg tracing but this is not a proper ecg. So I would like to suggest you to get a 24 hrs HOLTER monitoring (ambulatory ecg recording) done.

Also I would like to suggest you to get some blood tests done like
CBC
KFT
Thyroid function test

I hope this information will guide you properly.

Kind Regards
