A-Fib in young male with hypertention

[joelcoqui]

Firstly Im 22 and in great shape. No steroids drugs and just occasional alcohol. I had 3 hospitalizations for A-fib 1 being alcohol related and the other 2 because I gagged and/or choked. I havent had an episode for over a year. I have high blood pressure and on meds. These symptoms were with me for over 5 years and did not start when I began meds. I contstantly have strange palpitations throughout the day. I feel pressure on left side of head and im lightheaded. My left side get tingly and numb on and off. I occassionaly get flushed with little tremors. Was on a 2 week heart monitor with negative results. Also negative. EEG, brain MRI, EKG, Stress test, carotid. 24 urine cortisol check. What can it possibly be? I am drained. Help.

i have done that. I went to the top doctor at teaching school in NY. He says get your BP under control and you wont need an ablation.  I saw a few cardio drs. I just dont like the numbing tingly sensation down my leg and foot and these pressurous headaches. This has been for 5 years of seeing doctors. Do you think I havent went for several opinions in all fields. No on is thinking OUTsdie the box.

You have a great deal of concerning symptoms, including hypertension and atrial fibrillation diagnosed at a very young age.  If you are not satisfied with the recommendations of your current treating physicians, I would recommend that you seek a second opinion with a cardiologist at an academic medical center to make sure that nothing has been missed.  If you do seek a second opinion, it is very important that you bring the reports from your previous tests, including lab tests and the images from any cardiac tests (such as echocardiograms) that you have received.
