Palpitation even after ASD closure
I had undergone surgical closure of ASDs in Oct 2016 at Asian Heart. Since then I'm always very concerned as my heart rate triggers immediately. It spiked after climbing even 2 floors. And since couple of days I'm having a dangerous feeling of heart beat skipping, earlier it was once in two days but now the frequency has increased. I prefer to do 2d echo every 6 months, i did it a month back and Dr says it's normal. Only observation was Grade 1 diastolic Dysfunction. I'm very worried about this skipping beat situation as whenever that happens i go into a fear mode for sometime. Need suggest if this is something to worry and need further investigation. It usually happens in evening only. I'm on seloken xl 50 1 at afternoon and Telmisartan 20mg 1 at night. I'm able to walk 4.5 KM in 50 mins without any issues. Did serum potassium, serum calsium and serum magnesium test. Potassium and Calcium cake normal and Magnesium High 5+ but dr says its incorrect.

Hi. Your heart rate is on the upper normal limit as per ECG. If you have frequent symptoms then stop seloken XL and take tablet bisoprolol 5mg daily once. Nothing to worry. Check thyroid levels yearly once.
