Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I read carefully your question and would explain that it is necessary to perform a careful differential diagnosis of your symptoms:
-the palpitations could be related to
cardiac arrhythmia. That is why it is important to examine your cardiac function.
- the dreams could be related to a
sleep disorder or to epileptic seizures. Do you dream with eyes opened during the day or just at night?
Brain hypoxia related to cardiac arrhythmia could be the cause.
I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical examination and some tests:
-chest X ray study and respiratory function tests
-resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound. An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help examine your heart rhythm trends during the day.
- blood lab tests (
complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, blood electolytes, kidney and liver function tests, blood fasting glucose, etc.)
- an EEG to examine your brain function. If you experience the dreams only at night, a
polysomnography would be helpful to rule out a possible sleep disorder.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards!
Dr. Iliri
