Heart Rhythm, football player

[fudbal94]

I am 20 years old and I train football.From unknown reasons my hearth rate increases from 80 to 180.When that happens I blackout and my hands start to shake.I did EKG test, holter, blood test, test load with a limited amount of oxygen. One of the doctors told me that I got fifth muscle and that I need to go to the surgery ,but I don't want to go there without being 100% sure that is the problem. Did somebody faced same symptoms, if you did please contact me. Thank you very much! :]

I agree with Michelle. This is a complex topic that requires a lot of background information to diagnose and treat. Strongly suggest you work with doctors on this. Getting a second opinion might not be a bad idea, based on what you've told us. Best of luck.

Were you diagnosed with something specific?  If so what is it called.  Did you catch the fast beat on the holter when you were wearing it?  What kind of surgery did they recommend?  Was it an ablation?  When you feel your heart racing does it start and stop in one beat or is it a gradual up and down?  Blacking out is not good especially during exercise if you know you are adequately hydrated but we need a bit more information to comment further.  Also please know this is just a patient section so we really can't offer solid medical advice like that of a doctor.  When it doubt seek a second opinion from a medical professional.
