Suggest Treatment For Irregular Heart Rate

hi i am a 21 yr old female with pretty healthy lifestyle im a vegetarian and my main source of protien is fish. About two years ago i was startled in my sleep by my room mate and it made my heart rate rather irregular. Since then anytime i am startled in my sleep it takes forever for my heart to return to a normal rate. I have had a few stroke scares due to tingling in my left arm and entire left side of my body after having tests ran catscan and blood work they found no sign of stroke. The other night i was again startled in my sleep and it took a while for my heart beat to return to normal as usual. But shortly after i started feeling this awkard pressure in my head and it wont go away im just wondering if anyone has an idea of what it could be

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Most probably these are ventricular premature complexes. These are ectopic or extra beats. These are usually benign and not life threatening. These are frequently associated with MVP, also caffeine, alcohol, thyroid problems, stress may aggravate these. So before going ahead we need to confirm it. Since these are not frequent ECG may be normal, so in that case you ll need 24 holter monitoring which can diagnose these. You should also get thyroid test done. You ll beta blockers to control these.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that if all your blood and heart test came out to be normal then you may require a consultation with a psychologist who can help you with anxiety disorder which is very common cause for fluttering sensation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
