Hi there,
I have recently undergone various investigations for palpitations and tachycardia. All routine bloods and a chest xray have been normal, however I was found to have episodes of sinus tachycardia of 160 bpm (max) and inverted 'T' waves on a 24hr ecg. An ecg at my surgery also showed me to have an isolated episode of a QTc of 490. I was then referred for an echocardiogram which was normal. I have now been placed on a beta-blocker (Bisoprosol 2.5 mg) which is helping with my racing heart rate but I still get palpitations on mild excertion and even after just one glass of wine! I am regularly very tired and feel faint when I stand up.
I am a 29 year old non-smoking female, I am not overweight, nor do I drink much alcohol. I do have a family history of myocardial degeneration and cornonary sclerosis.
I would be very grateful for any advice and thank you.
