Suggest Treatment For Irregular Heartbeats

My name is William laguer, I m 22 years old. I woke up thi morning perfectly fine, when I bent over to pick my pant up I got the weirdest feeling coming from my heart like it started beating slow but really hard and I felt it at my throat, I ve been experimenting and also found out that if I stand up to quick I have the same feeling, if I raise my hands up and put them down quick I have the same feeling. I m worried with what s going on in there and want to know what it could be.

Hello!

Welcome on HCM1

I read carefully your question and understand your concern.

Your symptoms may be related to orthostatic intolerance or just anxiety.

What are your actual blood pressure values?

I recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG
- Head up Tilt test to exclude possible orthostatic intolerance
- chest X ray study
- blood lab tests (complete blood count, blood electrolytes).

If all the above tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your symptomatology.

Hope to have been helpful!

Best wishes,

Dr. Iliri
