Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello! I have problems with stress and anxiety. My heart is beating very irregulery, it misses beats and feel "fluttery" in my chest. Sometimes I get dizzy and at night when I feel my pulse I can feel it stoping for a few seconds before it starts beating normally again. I have had han 24 hour ECG and loads of blood test. They all showed normal. Should I trust the doctors on not testing my further? I'm afraid they didn't catch my episodes on the test. I am a 20 year old girl. 170 cm and 73 kg. I am swedish so I might write in a bit of a strange way.
dear, Cardiac arrhythmias could have been a cause of missed pulse or irregularities in beats. However, a normal 24 hour ecg have ruled out this concern of yours. therefore nothing abnoprmal with your heart it confirms. Now regarding your complaints, it could be an psychological anxiety that you could be suffering from. before making any diagnosis I would need some more information from you 1) do you feel palpitations on certain circumstances or on certain thoughts or for whole day? 2) how is your mood keeping these days? 3) do you also experience nausea, dizziness while such episodes? 4) are there specific conditions or circumstances that triggers such symptoms? 5) do you feel tired and not interested in activities nowadays? waiting for your replies... thanks
