Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Irregular heart beats need to be documented by ElectroCardioGram (EKG). Standard ECG records the electrical activity of the heart, for a few seconds. It can detect the
arrhythmia occurring during that time only. If the episode occurs randomly, one needs Holter or event monitor.
Breathlessness may from lung problems / and the drugs (like
Salbutamol for asthma) used for it may cause changes in heart beats... Anaemia / Anxiety / Alcohol / Tobacco (smoking) / Caffeine (too much tea, coffee, cola) / Fever / Infection / Pain / Stress / Thyroid / Vitamin D, calcium,
magnesium / Medicines like
Phenylephrine used for ‘cold’; and so on - may be responsible.... / At times, abnormal nerve paths in the heart (bypass tracts) or disease of the conduction system may be responsible!
ECHOcardiogram / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG) / LABORATORY work-up – may all be necessary for further assessment and assistance. / You may even need Electro Physiological Studies (EPS)...
The treating doctor may suggest them depending on need, based on his assessment of the situation.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
