Heart Palpatations
Hi i am 30 year old male who was hospitalized 3 months ago for atrial fib. Had the whole gambit of tests and all seemed ok. I was put on beta blockers then a heart monitor a month later for massive palpations and rapid beat. i was put on another med after to regulate heart rate. Now i still experience palpataions and i can feel when they are about to happen. also extreme fatigue and some weakness. What is the issue here? i do smoke but not massive smoker. I did gain 20 pounds since the hospital stay which i have never been able to do. Wonder what id happenin here.

Hi Jessie,
Its sad to know what ever you are going through. But from the information that is provided, i guess you would be having a condition more to do with your heart rather than anything. Also i can understand that you are anxious which is normal with palpitations, fatigue and weight gain. I think about weigh gain, it may be just due to a probable sedentary lifestyle with the fatigue factor. Or it needs to be investigated for any other possible causes. But, review with your cardiologist and then for the anxiety component please request your cardiologist to liaise with a psychiatrist.
Thank you and wish you a healthy life.
