What Causes Variation In Hart Beat?
Hello Doctor! I am Loi, female, 41 years old, 4'11" height and 84 lbs weight. I had a check up from a doctor 30 yrs ago and he told me that there's something wrong with my heart beat. It's not normal its like a scallop. He can't find whats wrong since the result of my ECG/EKG is also normal. I had another heart check up last year and it's the same findings. I don't get any medicine. My problem is every time I am sad, angry, or emotionally stressed, my heart beat become faster and my legs became weak especially my left knee. I had this problem since I was 30 yrs old. What do you think is my health problem? Please help me. Thanks.

so if your symptoms develops when you are sad or emotionally stressed for quite long time it means cardiac cause as primary reason is less likely.
usually this occur because of anxiety only and you may not have actual high heart rate. still to confirm you need ECG at time of palpitations if possible.
best remedy is to avoid the situation when u get stressed. and for medicine betabloker like tab Inderal may help u.
