Lately Ive been experiencing some heart related problems. Im 21 years old, and stopped practicing sports for like 2 years ago, due to College and I also started working. I have a high blood pressure, yesterday o checked it and I had 15/8, and 2 months ago I had 14/9. My heart beat was 99, at rest. But what bothers me most is my irregular heart beat. It has a quite fast pace, but it sometimes stops for like 1 second, and then it occurs one big pump, and returns to its pace. Ive been more worried for like a week and a half, when one day I started feeling a bit dizzy, and my heart started pumping a bit hard. I was like that for 2 hours or so. What can this be?
Hello thanks for posting here. Since you feel that your heart beats are irregular with intermittent pauses, i advice you a holder monitoring which records a 24 hr EKG. It is attached to your body, and you go home with the machine, do your activities as usual and return next day. The machine downloads all the EKG recordings for the last 24 hrs. It can tell you whether you have these irregular or missed beats, their frequency, type and whether they are harmful. On basis of the above if you have irregularities in heart beats, you can be started on treatment if required. Otherwise if the test doesn't show any irregularities, you need not worry. Thank you
