Brief Answer:
I would recommend performing further tests:
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I reviewed carefully your ECG report and would explain that it shows only an ectopic heart beat (extrasystole).
From the other hand, your symptoms are suggestive of a cardiac arrhythmia.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing further tests in order to investigate on possible cardiac arrhythmia:
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring, in order to examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged period of time and determine the type of cardiac arrhythmia during these episodes
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
I remain at your disposal in case of further questions whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
