Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband is. 83 years old..and is experiencing about 8 to 12 fast heart beats and then normal rhythm ....8 months go he had two bypass and open heart aorta mechanical put in..recovery was slow.....no energy tired, shortness of breath with very little exercise, and has to sit down. Coughs, and somewhat dizzy at times.
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that palpitaions with dizziness can be because of irregular heart rhythm which is a common occurrence after aortic valve replacement, because some of the fibers carrying electrical signal through your heart get damage during Aortic Valve Replacement surgery.
Kind get an ECG and echocardiography done and consult with a Cardiologist for further management.
Hope to have been helpful.
Kind Regards Dr. Navneet Bansal
