What Causes Irregular Heartbeats With Chest Pain?

Hi back in 2009 i was diagnosed with wolf parkinsons white syndrome and i had to ablations to correct it. i am a 38 year old male of 12 stone and 5ft 11 tall. over the past few months my heart has been skipping beats then stopping for a 2nd then starting again. while all this is going on i am very lite headed and with a slight pain in my chest. sometimes if i walk more than a 100 yards thats when it starts and can sometimes last for about 20 to 30 minutes. i recently went to my doctor who checked my blood pressure which was 185/ 112 so she gave me lisinapril 5mg which i take 2 a day but i still keep getting these skipped beats and dizziness.

Hi Mrs XXX .
I have gone through your question and I inderstand your concern .

According to your symptoms , I would say that you may have arrhythmia , probably SVT ( supraventricual tachycardia ) your atrium beats fast or a atrial fibrillation that are comon complication of WPW ( wolf Parkinson white) and it may lead to serious condition such heart failure
.
The intervention that you did is 90% effective and the recurren of the arhytmia may happen again.

Your chest pain can be cause of hypertension also cause the arhytmia .

I would recommend you to go to the hospital as soon as possible to check how your heart is working , do an ECG ,or a Holder monitor (24h ) to monitor your heart beat . This a serious condition that need further evaluation to exsclude any heart problems .The doctors may start medication to controll your heart beat according to ECG result .

Meanwhile check your blood pressure 3times a day , take the medication regularly ,it's your blood pressure back to normal .Minimize exercises .

Wish you good health .
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me .
