What Causes Bad Palpitations With A Hole In Heart?
i have a hole in the heart and basically lately i have been having alot of problems with it, i keep having really bad palpitations and keep collapsing, i get really hot and then get cold, i can actually feel my heart getting really quick then slowing right down and it feels like its going to stop, i have seen a doctor but im not getting much back from them .
It can be either an arrhythmia or just your normal rhythm is increased, the last one is not dangerous, can be caused by caffeine, smoking, non regular lifestyle and thyroid problems. If you have "a hole in your heart", most probably atrial septal defect or patent foramen ovals, it could trigger some arrhythmias, bit it is not mandatory that you will have arrhythmias. To find out whether it is an arrhythmia or your normal rhythm, you need 24 hour ECG monitoring, it will show what happens with your heart during your complaints.
Take care
