My wife is 28 years old, weighs 56 kilos, is 1m 63cm tall, and for the past 5 years she experiances every 2 months a sudden rapid elevation in her heart rate. It forces her into the fetal position, she has to fight to breath, loses most of her sight and these episodes last about 20 minutes. They are not panic attacks, can you tell me what heart conditions she may have?
There are various conditions like paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia or atrial fibrillation which are likely possibilities. These are not the life-threatening conditions and can be well managed. Next thing is to diagnose exactly the condition. This can be diagnosed with ECG during the episodes. It is advisable that you should seek cardiologist who can also perform electrophysiologist studies and diagnose, treat the condition with ablation permanently. He can also manage on Chat Doctor.
