I'm a 21 yr old female at a healthy weight, previous light smoker.
Lifelong issues:
Pain in front of chin/teeth, neck and later chest after running for a while
Easily puffed out
Very mild hunch at top of back
Reflux issues
Severe hereditary hyperhidrosis
Occasional ectopics
Recent (last four months) issues:
After a year of constant flu, I started getting palps that mimicked panic attacks
Total exercise intolerance; tachycardia on standing
Presyncope, visual disturbances or sudden collapse on walking
More ectopics, and short runs of irregular pulse after mild exertion
Chest pain and discomfort (mostly left side), lower face pain and near constant ache in left arm.
Hypotension and hypertension
Sweating, indigestion and sometimes ectopics on eating meals
Two episodes lying down of discomfort followed by an instantly POUNDING uncontrollable heart which made the discomfort disappear immediately.
Days of feeling indescribably weak and feverish.
Spells of severe vomiting
Worsening of hyperhidrosis plus hot flashes and chills
Recent (last four months) tests:
Echocardiogram
Resting ekgs (stress tests years ago; failed to reproduce pain but normal)
Chest ct
Cardiac ct angiogram with perfusion
Cardiac markers
Blood count (potassium malabsorbtion, since stabilized; persistently raised pancreas and liver enzymes)
24hr holter
Thyroid
24hr urine catecholamines
The first strange thing I got in February was after walking up two flights of stairs, at the top I got a sudden twinge in my jaw and my heart took off racing and made me very faint. I worry that this or other episodes may have been ventricular tachycardia that haven't been picked up, but is that possible in a structurally normal heart with no usual electrical abnormalities? Could a normal sinus rhythm or svt cause dizziness like that?
