Suggest Treatment For Wolf-Parkinson-White Disorder
I have a heart condition called Wolff-Parkingson-White and I occasionally get palpitations. Currently, I've had one for about twenty minutes (the palpitation has decreased but its still there) and I was extremely faint and feel as if I am about to pass out. What should I do? Should I wait it out? I cannot get in touch with my doctor and don't know if I should go to the hospital. I'm not sure what to do.
Hello and thank you for using HCM.I carefully read your question and I understand your concern.
I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion.
As you already know, wolf Parkinson White is a rhythm diaorder.It means you have an axesory pathway that pases the electrical impulses through the heart.
So, if you are experiencing palpitation my opinion is that you should seek medical atention.You can present directely to the emergency room when it is posible to do a simple electrocardiogram and watch what is happening whith you rhythm.
It is recommended to do so becouse it might be a kind of arythmia than might be controlled whith any medication and so you might be free of this palpitation.
Than the long term stategy of this rhythm disorder should be consulted whith your cardiologyst based on other examination like echocarfiography, holter rhythm monitoring, you complains ect.
Hope I was helpfull. Best regards, Dr.Ervina.
