I have had two episodes of heart racing, first time my heart rate was 220 and the second 190. Both times I was given something through i.v to stop and restart my heart. Since the first time I have what feels like fluttering in my heart. I am on Beta Blockers - 5mg once in the morning and 5mg at night. I was on synthroid for my thyroid but the first time I had the racing I was told to stop taking the medicine. The Dr. has now out me on Teva-Gabapentin but it does not seem to be helping either. Help!!
Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your query and concern. Arrythmias in your case could be related to stress and anxiety. Irregular heartbeat is known to alter the blood supply to the brain leading to impaired function in a transient way. Few Chat Doctor. I advise you to have a complete 24 hour holder ECG which can accurately determine the cardiac conduction abnormalities. Monitor your blood pressure and heart rate.
