Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
After an episode of severe irregular rhythm I was diagnosed w pots and pvc. I m on high blood Med low blood Med potassium, salt, water, compression. The other day I had another episode of extreme swing 37-196bpm. Resting, laying on couch. I can t climb stairs at all. Heart raced to 170 just walking up stairs. Run out a breath. Should I ask for more testing. Could this be afib and not just pots? I get extremely breathless giving speeches.
I need to see an ecg for the final diagnosis . but pvc can cause such symptoms . it takes a while for the dose and drug to be adjusted to some patient so follow up is absolutely necessary.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
