Hi welcome to hcm
I understand your query and concern.
Irregular heart beat in your case are suggestive of any arrhythmias of heart which means abnormal conduction abnormality of heart.I advise you to get an ECG,2 D Echo of your heart immediately to confirm the diagnosis.I also advise you to get lipid profile,complete blood picture,chest x ray immediately as a part of routine check up.Drugs like Amiodarone,Betaloc,Pantop 40 mg will be helpful in your case.Avoid stress and anxiety.Avoid smoking ,alcohol,fatty foods.Abnormal lipid profile if present in your case should be treated with atorvastatin.Monitor blood pressure and heart rate immediately.EP study and radiofrequency ablation will be the procedure of choice.Consult your cardiologist for expert management.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
