Questions about heart

[LamboJambo]

Okay, I'm curious about some things. I've checked my heart once at a hospital cause I was quite anxious and it was said by the doctor that my hearts healthy. It was mentioned in the paper that I had irregular arrythmia but all in all it's fine. But I get startled easily and through out these recent weeks I got startled like HUNDREDS of times and some of them was quite shocking to me and I felt A LOT of adrenaline at those occasions. I've also been eating quite an amount of heart healthy foods as well this past week and I exercise and play basketball sometimes, more often than not. My questions are : one can you develop another heart arrythmias if your heart keeps on getting damaged by getting startled and does heart healthy food give your heart a significant amount of strength to your heart so you can withstand some damage from getting startled or no ? Thanks

Did they say what type of arrhythmia ? A - FIB ?  Eating a heart healthy diet it always good for anyone with or without issues going on so if you have already adjusted to that lifestyle then you are doing a good thing for yourself and keep up the discipline and good work .  Go to a good internal medicine doctor or cardiologist and tel them your concerns and request a holter monitor in which you will wear for 24 hours to monitor your heart to see what’s going on during your normal day and request a echo cardiogram to look for abnormalities and then follow your doctors orders . Couple of questions

Do you suffer from anxiety ?
Have you ever had panic attacks?
Any medical problems ?
Any family history of heart disease ?

1 IDK If I do I've never been diagnosed just generally always anxious
2 seldomly
3 & 4 I don't think so
One more thing though ive had the x Ray results and the echo cardiogram checked as well and the doctor said that it was fine

I’m sure you are fine , if the echo was good and the X-ray was good I’m sure you have nothing to worry about , if you are that worried about the arrhythmia get yourself a apple i watch series 4 it’s cardiac app checks for A-fib and Heart rate of you heart goes over 100 beads a minute or less than 50 whole inactive or alerts you and can also do a 1 lead EKG  or for a cheaper price pick up a cheaper brand off amazon or something it may put your kid to ease a little

Overall don’t worry about it you can always get a holter monitor put on for 24 hrs to put your mind at ease .
One last question how do you sleep at night ? Do you ever wake up suddenly with your heart racing or gasping for air ? If so you may have sleep apnea that can cause arrhythmia

[LamboJambo]

I usually sleep at midnight which is in no way healthy and about the heart racing thing it doesn't happen a lot and it doesn't happen when I'm fully asleep  and it's feels like getting startled by something and being quite shocked about it lol

[LamboJambo]

Only happened to me recently though. Maybe I need to schedule my sleep a bit more properly so that I can sleep more optimally?

[LamboJambo]

Also one more thing I did not get an echocardiogram I mistook it for something else but I have the results of the heart beats and the doctor said that it was fine

[GG_OX]

I would trust your doctor. Get better sleep and limit caffeine intake .

I'll try my best. Thank you so much.
