Hi,
I have suffered from a racing heart and heart palpatations for at least 10 years. I had several tests done and all came back normal so it was just concluded that it was normal for me to have a high pulse and I went on a beta blocker. I always suspected I had an overactive thyroid and it was finally diagnosed 7 years later (3 years ago). I had a total thyroidectomy 5 months ago and was hoping my palpatations would improve but I’m still suffering . I saw a cardiologist yesterday who was utterly unhelpful and dismissed every single symptom I was having. I have two questions if I may:
1) I have noticed my resting heart rate is significantly better when I start my period and then increases when I ovulate. Any ideas what could be causing this?
2) on my holter tape report I was told that everything was fine and it was all ‘sinus rhythm’. However I noticed it said on the report “2 dropped beats: 1 shows nocturnal 2nd degree AV block (wenchbach) the other shows a non-conducted SVE.”
I know dropped beats are normal but I’m worried about the wenchbach given what I’ve just googled!
Many thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer!
