Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having rapid heart beat eppisodes...some during day, but 3 of them (Dr. thinks SVT) at night. Last night I had my third and I got light headed and got up to get a drink of water...I felt EXTREMELY faint and had urge to go to the bathroom, and ended up going on the floor when I thought i d faint...Went to ER via 911. ALL labs and chest xrays are normal...yet I still have this happening. I am wearing heart monitor for 30 days.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please check for ambulatory no and ECG monitoring and tilt table test. Consult your cardiologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
