Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome on HealthcareMagic!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that it is important first to exclude a possible cardiac arrhythmia as the most likely cause of your symptomatology..
For such purposes, it is necessary that besides a resting ECG, to undergo ambulatory ECG monitoring.
As these "heart races" episodes occur about three times per week 48 Hours ECG monitoring or better 7 days monitoring would be more appropriate.
Exploring heart rhythm during those episodes of unpleasant feelings would be crucial in determining the possible implication of a rhythm disorder.
In addition, several medical tests wold be helpful for the diagnostic work-up:
- cardiac ultrasound,
- complete blood count,
- CRP,
- thyroid hormones level,
- blood electrolytes level,
- urine metanephrines level,
- fasting blood glucose,
- HbA1C,
- exercise cardiac stress test
If you have performed any of the above-mentioned tests, I would be glad to review them here (you could upload them here for a direct review).
From the other side, if the above tests have all resulted normal, then possible increased anxiety (panic attacks) could be a potential reason.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
In case of any further uncertainties, feel free to ask me again.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
