Arrhythmia, heart palpitations non stop, help?

Arrhythmia? I don't know, not even x3 doctors know, can anyone help me please? I need another opinion as I don't know how much longer my body or heart will hold on. I had palpitations now and then since 14 years ago about but it was never really a problem or big deal until June 2014 where it happened non stop, I began to feel so weak and like I just want to past out every time and my heart working over time, I couldn't brush my hair anymore it hurt so much all over my body. I was admitted to hospital where I was for 6 days, doing every test possible. 24 hr results form heart monitor came back and showed some abnormal rhythms. Doctor put me on Sota-Hexal 80mg morning and night, still drinking it. The cardiologist then referred me to an electro physiologist for further testing. I finally got an appointment after 3 months. He thought he saw some shadow on my heart via the sonar which he then sent me to another doctor to do an MRI scan of the heart. He finally gave me the results after they analyzed it twice for some reason. He just said they could see a lot of calcium which they don't know why or where it's coming from and also that the upper right side is a bit bigger and he cannot explain why. We then starting talking about history, I also had 2 miscarriages in the last 3 years which they said there were not enough blood or something. The doctor then said maybe it's blood related everything and he needs time to think about this. I do not know how much longer I can hold on. I really feel every single day that my heart is not strong enough, the beats are uncontrollable and the Sota-Hexal twice a day is not helping me. I was hoping I could get an ablation of some sort or just some sort of miracle. The waiting is really the hardest part and especially not knowing. All I want is positive closure, God is my only miracle I have. But please help me if you have any suggestions I can take up with my doctors. I am 27 years old only.

Good to see you are getting some input here, I'll jump in here on your last point.  "...in time I can heal".   Yes that is possible, and it may take some invasive procedures, such as Ablation.  I am not suggesting this is what you need, and it will always help to lead a "healthy heart" life style:  mostly diet and exercise - both need specific oversight to be best.  Until you can get a specific recommendation from a doctor it is best to go slow on any increase in physical exercise, but adding a "mile a day" in just extra walking if it doesn't cause pain is worth a try.. if too much, try 1/2 mile a day.  There are other exercises that give the cardiovascular needed exercise, some are "in doors" such as an exercise stationary bicycle.  

You didn't mention atrial fibrillation, that is one arrhythmia I found relief from a minimally invasive procedure called electrocardio version.... but alas over time that no longer worked.   I'm a senior age person and now face a life-time of medications.  The younger one is the more aggressive one should seek a "cure" even if it eventually fails.

Hi, thnak you for your feedback.

No they didnt. However I think I started hurting all over when I went through the stage where it felt like my heart is working way overt-time. I starting feeling very sensitive and everything hurt. It did improve after medication.

Currently now I am having the daily palpitations and every hour or so I will have a very weird heart beat. Sometimes I would feel confused as well.

So now it seems I have to wait till January. He says I need to come back for a 24hr monitor and check what the results say and I must simply continue with the meds.

I do hope that in time I can heal. Can you ever get better form calcium etc.? Should I improve my diet and exercise more even though it's hard to do training? I am confused. Thank you once again

It sounds as though you are going through a very difficult time.  Unfortunately, your situation is complicated, and more-- a lot more--specific information about what tests were done, and what the results were, is needed.

However, one thing stands out:  you say, "I couldn't brush my hair anymore it hurt so much all over my body."  I can tell you that this is *not* a symptom of heart disease.  

Have your doctors suggested any other cause for this particular  symptom?
