What Causes Tiredness And Irregular Heart Beats After Exercising?
Dear Sir, i have a question in distinguishing a heart problem and deconditioning...i am 29 years old, previously professional athlete for 10 years but limited my activity due to arrhythmia episodes which were PSVT mostly but many many many PVCs as well...my functional class also reduced to III class...now i am apparently in calss I but i have two questions which i am not able to answer...i have started jogging on tread mill with 6th speed for 20 min daily...during jogging not any problem max one or two PVCs but about an hour after stopping the sports my heart beats becomes irregular...many PVCs as if even simple movement triggers it, chest discomfort and it may even linger to many hours if i get really tired...i am not able to distinguish whether this is deconditioning or still my heart is not doing well?

Hello,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to an electrolyte imbalance or dehydration, probably caused by jogging.
Coming to this point, I would recommend checking your blood electrolytes.
An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
