What Causes Sudden Loss Of Consciousness With Abnormal Heart Beat?
Hi, I collapsed while setting off for a jog (I was only about 5 houses away from my house/on the same street) when my heart thudded and my legs went from underneath me and I collapsed to the floor. The next thing I knew I was on the ground. Is this just caused by hyperventillation or is more significant? I've also had extrasystolies

Hello,
Here we need to evaluate for the cause. Do you have any other disease like any chest pain, or history of heart attack. Although hyperventilation is can cause these symptoms we still need to evaluate the cause. For this you'll need one holter monitoring. If its showing some abnormalities then further test will be guided accordingly. Also, are you taking any drug at present.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
