What Causes Heart Palpitations With A History Of Hypoplastic Heart Syndrome?
I am 16 years old girl and already a few days my heart palpitations. Do not get stressed, do not drink any alcohol, not smoke. This may indicate a heart pounding heart disease? In the four years I was sent to ; echocardiography without cardiac problems only preventive pediatrician that due to my hydrocephalus exclude hypoplastic heart syndrome. This syndrome was excluded by echocardiography. If these my current heart problems (palpitations at rest) meant something more serious, followed by heart surgery? I have not any dizziness. So what would it be? Heart disease? If it was this, what is the treatment?

Hello,
I would like to tell you that possible causes for palpitations can be cardiac arrhythmia, chronic anemia, thyroid dysfunction or anxiety.
So I will recommend you to consult with your doctor for a physical exam and some tests:
- HOLTER monitoring (ambulatory ECG) for 24 to 48 hours to investigate for cardiac arrhythmia
- CBC for anemia
- Thyroid Profile for thyroid dysfunction
- Blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
And there is no reason to worry about surgery, because all the above mentioned causes usually are treated with medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap
