I recently had a heart metal heart stent put in my main artery because it was very narrow .I was told I hadnt had an heart attack or there was no damage done to the heart but I am having really bad palpatations and it feels like my heart is pounding so fast its going to just stop ..I have had palpatations in the past but they were down to anxiety ,do you think theres something wrong with my heart

Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a cardiac arrhythmia.

For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:

- an exercise cardiac stress test
- a cardiac ultrasound
- complete blood count
- blood electrolytes
- thyroid hormone levels
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring to examine your heart rhythm trends and exclude arrhythmia.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
