Pause in the heartbeats along with irregular rhythm

[parteeksingh075]

My age is 68 years, wt-76 Kg, height-166 cm. I had bypass surgery in 2012. I used to  walk for 45 min daily. I feel completely fit and fine.i didn't smoke or drink. A week ago i felt that my heart rhythm is irregular . After going through holter test i found that my heart rate increases and slows down with a pause of 1.8 sec. My min heart rate is 50 and max is 144 bpm. My average heat rate is 89. I didn't had any symptom except having mild headache sometimes.Prior to this problem  i take concor 5 mg (once in a day) and Razel Gold (once in a day) . I had gone through TMT test in march  and had ECO along with holter test. My TMT result anf ECo result are normal. Now dr had advised me to take Razel Gold only.Please suggest is anything serious?

CABG surgery comes results in AF for many people.  So that is my best guess of what you have.  It happens because of the scar tissue that formed as a result of the surgery.  It can be mapped and ablated at an experienced center.  So yes it can be cured.  Just make sure the ablationist that you choose have done a lot of AF or more complex procedures.

Considering your age, it could be possible you're having some atrial fibrillation, a-fib.  It's completely possible that when you're not experiencing this arrhythmia, a Holter test would indicate a normal heart.  Your medication is comprised of aspirin, a statin, and an anticoagulant, so you might be marginally protected in the event it could be a-fib.  The formation of clots is the primary concern.  You should keep an eye on this.

thanks for your revert. Can u please tell me  how it can be cured and what should i do in case of any emergency. Doctor didn't prescribed any medicine for it, what can be the reason behind it? As per doctor  blood flow in the heart is fine.
