Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are known case of various heart arrhythmias, possibility of worsening these arrhythmia is more because your all symptoms like chest tightness, squeezing in chest, rapid pulse rate etc are common symptoms of uncontrolled arrhythmia.
So immediately consult cardiologist and get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo
3. Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ecg).
You may need radio frequency ablation (RFA) surgery for permanent treatment of arrhythmia.
So consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
