Hi back in 2009 i was diagnosed with wolf parkinsons white syndrome and i had to ablations to correct it. i am a 38 year old male of 12 stone and 5ft 11 tall. over the past few months my heart has been skipping beats then stopping for a 2nd then starting again. while all this is going on i am very lite headed and with a slight pain in my chest. sometimes if i walk more than a 100 yards thats when it starts and can sometimes last for about 20 to 30 minutes. i recently went to my doctor who checked my blood pressure which was 185/ 112 so she gave me lisinapril 5mg which i take 2 a day but i still keep getting these skipped beats and dizziness.
Hi Mrs XXX. I have gone through your question and I understand your concern. According to your symptoms, I would say that you may have arrhythmia , probably SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) your atrium beats fast or an atrial fibrillation that are common complication of WPW (wolf Parkinson white) and it may lead to serious condition such heart failure. The intervention that you did is 90% effective and the recurrent of the arrhythmia may happen again. Your chest pain can because of hypertension also cause the arrhythmia. I would recommend you to go to the hospital as soon as possible to check how your heart is working, do an ECG, or a Holder monitor (24h) to monitor your heart beat. This is a serious condition that need further evaluation to exclude any heart problems. The doctors may start medication to control your heart beat according to ECG result.Meanwhile, check your blood pressure 3 times a day, take the medication regularly , it's your blood pressure back to normal . Minimize exercises. Wish you good health. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me.
