Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Greetings from health care magic!!! I am Dr Thakker and shall be answering your question.
Can you please upload some EKG rhythm strips of the patient to help me see the rhythm.
I would like to know if :
There is a history of heart disorder in the family?
Is she on any medications currently?
Does she consume caffeine / stimulant drugs?
Does she consume alcohol?
The following are the possible causes for her rhythm disturbances:
Ventricular irritability due to hypoxia/ electrolyte abnormality.
Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia
Atrial fibrillation
Congenital QT syndromes causing arrhthymia
HOCM
I would recommend to have thyroid levels checked and start a beta blocker like metoprolol to control the ectopics.
Please get back to me with answers to the above questions.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Thakker.
