Hi there,
Thanks for writing in.
I am a medical specialist with additional degree in cardiology.
I read your history and background with diligence.
You have written pain matches heart beat.
Can you perceive increased heart rate when you say heart beats or are you referring to skipped beats? Or pain can occur in any beat when you are sitting.
If it is increased heart rate does it start suddenly like a bolt from blue with pain and other symptoms which you wrote- feeling light headed; having chills and sweats. It then lasts for some time and disappears as abruptly as it started? Or it occurs only when you are working while sitting and lasts for few minutes and subside. That part of description is needed before I can comment further.
Have you undergone EKG or Holter Examination for your heart beat what did the report say?
I am sorry but to give you a worthwhile suggestion I have to ask these questions.
Lastly, if I may ask can you list all the drugs you are currently taking.
Thank You and regards. After getting your mail I will get back to you asap.
Thanks again for your indulgence.
With Best Wishes.
