I have been suffering from tachycardia for a few years now, I finally saw a Cardiologist after I was sent to the ER by my PCP for a heart rhythm of 165. I was placed on 100mg of Toprol XL which works most of the time. I had a echo done, my Cardiologist said I have a leaky heart valve but said that's no big deal, event monitor for palpitations which didn't catch any of my palpitations- they happen so fast I'm not surprised, and a CBC, BMP, thyroid tests done which were all good. The Cardiologist wants me to have in depth Endocrine labs done which I haven't had yet.
Today I got really sick- my heart rate was around 180, I was so dizzy, and felt very dazed & out of it. Other symptoms I have: extreme sensitivity to the heat- I get really sick when I stay in the heat for just a few seconds my face gets bright red and I feel faint. I recently started getting acne on my back (I'm 29 years old) and never suffered from this in my life. My cycle is also very concerning- I have extremely heaving periods and bleed on and off all month long! I also started gaining weight for the first time ever- I am very small, usually 100 pounds or so but I gained 20 pounds this year- that is crazy for me! I'm so exhausted and sick of feeling this way. Does anyone have any similar symptoms or have any ideas of what could be being on? I don't go back to my PCP for a month or so (although I am going to try to get a sooner app't since my Cardiologist wants me to have the Endocrine tests done.) so I'd appreciate some thoughts and ideas. Thanks in advance!
