Good morning. I am writing because I hope the specialist will identify my strange ailment. I'm 32 years old. And for a good 8 years I have had a sudden jump in my heart rate to around 190. It makes me feel very strange - as if someone was strangling me. It takes up to 40 minutes and is not related to physical exertion. Just like that, my heart "hangs" and I have a nightmare. This happens to me every 2 months on average, but recently I visited my doctor with it and it happens more often - even 3 days in a row. I had high blood pressure and high cholesterol so she prescribed Concor, Tolura and Torvalipin. These attacks are becoming more frequent since taking these drugs. Please help. Thanks in advance and best regards.
Unfortunately, I cannot say exactly what is going on. An ECG should be performed when these symptoms occur. I think that you should start with a Holter EKG, if you do not catch this "arrhythmia", then maybe in the next stage transesophageal stimulation.
