Suggest Treatment For Severe Heart Palpitations
Question: 54yo female in good health . Recently experiencing SOB in the afternoon with rapid heartbeat. In some mid-afternoons, I will feel a "bubbling" sound in my chest. Never smoked. Do u need additional info.? Thank you in advance.
Brief Answer:
Arrhythmias should be ruled out
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,
The cause of your symptoms may be arrhythmias.
I would advise you to have holter monitoring done; it is an examination, when 24 hour ambulatory ECG is recorded, so your doctor will see what's going on when you have shorteness of breath along with palpitations.
Take care
Come back if you have any further questions
