What Causes A Strange And Rapid Heart Beat?
Hi My name is Soraya, I`m a 27 years old, health woman. This week my heart start to act strange and sometimes beat very fast. It`s hurt very much in 2 places on my chest. I also feel weak and almost fell into the floor twice. My vision this time was confused. My mother died from a very rare kind of heart attach but I think I`m too young and health to have one. What is your suggestion?

Hi,
As you have a strong family history of heart disease, it is very important for you to get evaluated thoroughly by a cardiologist.
Palpitations occurring in you especially when you are having episodes of syncope (fall) is very important and you need to see a cardiologist urgently.
ECG, 2D echo and Holter monitoring (24hr continuous ECG monitoring) should be done and further management will be decided after that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist
