Suggest Treatment For Broken Heart Syndrome

I m 28 years old male. I have been treated for seminoma since last year (radioth. and chemoth.) and two months ago I had cerebrovascular insult. I did echo two days ago and diagnose was Broken Heart Syndrome. Doctor sent me to do Holter monitoring ekg and there was a lot of period with sinus arrhythmia in days and nights hours, changes in P wave, negative T wave in all tree channels. Is this serious?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Radiotherapy causes tissue damage. Along with cancerous cells, radiation damages normal, healthy cells also.
So in your case radiation must have damaged conduction system of heart.
This is the reason for your abnormalities on Holter monitoring.
Pace maker insertion is good option and having beneficial effects in these type of abnormalities.
So better to consult cardiologist and discuss about pacemaker option.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
