Hi, my name is Alex, 28 years old, Male.
In 2014 i began to feel my heart pumping even in rest.(60bpm)
Now in 2020 i have problems even with light physical activities like stairs or walk in the park.
I feel shortness on breath, chest pain, plapitations and fatigue.
On the other hand the doctors can't find any evidence in:
Coronary angiogram(never had high blood pressure or cholesterol)
Electrocardiogram
Echocardiogram(only small mitral valve prolapse)
24H Electrocardiogram(a couple of extrasystoles)
According to the doctors i should be in perfect condition.
But this is not the truth.
Is it possible to have some kind of heart failure?
Any opinion will be helpfull.
Thank you in advance...
Hello and welcome to the forum! Have you ever had an exercise ECG? As you struggle with stairs this could be a relevant test. Personally I believe resting ones are of limited value as mine was normal despite four severely narrowed arteries. Do you mind me asking your BMI as this can sometimes have a major effect.
Hello, thank you for your post.
I am 175cm tall and weigh 57kg (skinny guy)
And yes, i had an exercise ECG in 2016.
Nothing dangerous, only something called "sympathicotonia".
No weight worries then - maybe a little under even. I think your symptoms may be related to your sympathicotonia but know next to nothing about this. My suggestion would be to call the BHF nurses on Monday for advice as obviously your quality of life is badly affected. Let us know how you get on.
