Palpitations, tachycardia and breathless

2017-04-01 15:38:48
I'm a 22 year old male, 55kg, 5'4 ft. Last year I had an episode of SVT( supraventricular tachycardia), recovered from it with 4 days, All my heart test came back normal, ECG, ECHO, TMT, CECT CHEST, Holter( morbitz type 2 AV block which according to doctors was not significant), but I still have palpitations and feeling of hypoxia/difficulty breathing, my spo2 is usually 96%, my breathlessness is kind of bothering and is making it difficult for me since im an inturn medicine student. I was on beta blockers for three months BD, which was discontinued after that, currently im not taking any medicine.My BP usually remains on a lower side 110/60 mmHg, normal blood sugar, TSH, CBC, LFT,KFT, I had noted one thing that my heart rate rises by more than 30bpm when I stand up from lying position, my doctor suspects that It could be due to dysautonomia and has recommended to go for tilt table test, sleep study, PFTAnd Electrophysiological Study

Hi, I think you are very clear with the problem u are facing. Most of the tests have been already done. Dysautonomia could be one of the cause for your problem. ECG during any episode of palpitation would be very helpful. You may also consider serum cortisol @ 8am done.
