Can Black Mold Cause Irregular Heartbeat?
Hello, my office had black mold a couple of weeks ago, i removed it with tissues and painting over it. Now I ve been having wierd heart beats and skipping heart beats for a week. My blood tests are very good and my cardiolist says he can t find anything wrong after doing an eco. Could it be black mold effect?

Hi,
It's less likely due to black mould however, if EKG and Echocardiogram are unremarkable you should get a Holter monitoring done and if any persistent abnormal heart rhythm is detected in spells during the course of the day, you may need to have electro-physiologist review and get EP studies done. Using beta blockers may also be needed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
