Heart Problems, Cardiac Symptoms, But Test Results Normal
m heart rate had go to very fast last night at 3.00 am about 120 to 130 per minutes, when i change position and go to outdoor slowly and return to bedroom, it become normal and I sleep again. Again when i weak up in morning, again heart rate is about 110 to 120. This type of happen three times in 5 months . I tested for ECG, EcoCG,EEG, Ions, CBC,BP and DC. all are normal. Also sometime when i am in standing or sitting, a sudden cardiac arrest type of event occur and I have faint, sweeting.
please shear more about , your previous and now, health condition, so that I can able to judge my health condition ! please !
My father's sister also suffered for periods where her heart raced and skipped beats (Atrial Fibrillation Afib) and she was on beta blockers. She had to have several ablations…a medical procedure to shock the heart back into a steady rhythm. She would not stop drinking coffee or smoking…but she lived to age 88. I am 70 and besides the usual arthritis et..my heart is absolutely fine. I am sure you will also be fine. But until you see the cardiologist, stop all stimulants…even tea unless it is decaffeinated. I will bet you have no more episodes. And get exercise every day.
Are you taking any other drug that can cause your heart to react, such as thyroid medication? Are you taking decongestants for a cold?
yes , my clod is always coming very soon in between 2 to 3 month , so i use decongestants drugs for cold. is it bad ? but i can't get it frequently !
Also , I do ecg for about 5 times at different times and all are normal !
Also i do 2 times thyroid test and both are normal !
Also , I never drink coffee or tea ! I never drink alcohol, no smoking and no tobacco products !
Hi @deepakkumar,
I’m so glad you’ve joined Connect and ‘connected’ with incredible fellow-members – thanks @nene22 @danab @afrobin for your insights and suggestions. Deepak, might I also suggest you look into another form of tachycardia known as SVT – supra ventricular tachycardia? Episodes of SVT can be triggered by exercise, stress, gastrointestinal problems like nausea, vomiting, medications, caffeine, but most of the time it can occur for no particular reason at all. Basically, SVTs reflect and abnormal or extra electrical connection in the heart.

I’ve had SVTs ever since I can remember, and I know how debilitating these episodes can get! A few years ago, I had a cardiac ablation procedure, (which “resets” the heart’s electrical circuit), as my episodes were getting prolonged, occurred too often, and I couldn’t stop the fast heart rate with any of the vagal maneuvers. In my case, my heart rate was 210 beats per minute! Most people experience an improvement after SVT ablation, but there’s a fair chance that palpitations may return – as they have in my case – and the procedure can be repeated. But, here I am, and so far so good for the both of us, I should say:)
Fortunately, SVT is rarely life-threatening, yet if your heart races for more than a few minutes, or if you start experiencing chest pain, you should go to the emergency room.

@deepakkumar, how often do the episodes occur? Do you know if any family member has a history of tachycardia?
Avoid decongestants if you have any issues with your heart racing or skipping beats….as well as all the other things I listed which my cardiologist told me to avoid.
Do you take vitamin D all fall, winter and spring? If you live in the East (India, Pakistan…) and are in the sun a lot, then maybe you don't need to take vitamin D. But for those of us who live in the north (I live in Montreal, Canada), everyone needs to take vitamin D supplements every day to keep healthy. They bolster the immune system so they help fight colds, infections and even cancer.
Your racing heart doesn't happen often so don't worry about it. My heart was racing and skipping beats all day, every day and I felt light headed, faint and weak. You could see it very clearly on EKGs. I couldn't live like that so I had to be on a drug to make my heart steady. Your issues only happen once in a while so I think you can control it by being very careful to avoid stimulants.
There is no family history of any type of heart problems. and my episode occur within 2 to 3 months, with may be 1 time or 2 to 5 times , there is no any timing and frequency. but it go away if i change position from sitting to sleeping or sleeping to standing.
My heart beats not skipped and ecg also good. but only once ecg detect sinus tachycardia.
Also , I don't know that it is SVT or Sinus Tachycardia or both but it can't happen frequently, so the ecg can't be able to detect it at time of diagnosis ! what i do ?
