What Causes Heart Palpitations?
Hi. Im 22 years old and have ASD heart Diease. A year in a half ago I had a closure device put in my heart to close the hole up. After the procedure I developed palpitations severe directly after it was put in. Now i take arrithima pills to steady out my heart beat. last night laying in bed, I could actualy feel my heart stop, for about five seconds, then start beating again. While it stopped, My body felt fuzzy! Very Scary!!! Im worried what could it be? My heart arrithima or heart device? I just need an opionion please!

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a cardiac arrhythmia.
I recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests:
- a cardiac ultrasound
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring to examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
