Hello doctor. In 2019, I suddenly appeared symptoms such as nervousness, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue... sometimes I had to take a long breath to make it easier to breathe. At first, the symptom appeared from time to time, but later on, it appeared more and more often and more often.
I went to the doctor, the results of the electrocardiogram, the echocardiogram showed that I had mitral, tricuspid and mild aortic regurgitation. The doctor concluded that because I had a neurological disorder, the above symptoms were not caused by a regurgitation of the heart valve (and gave me medication to treat cardiac neuropathy). For the past 2 weeks, I have been feeling nervous, short of breath, short of breath, and my heart is racing. Ask a doctor to help me, how to know the cause of nervousness, shortness of breath, shortness of breath, heart palpitations? What's the treatment, doctor? Please help doctor. Thank you very much doctor.

Hello. With the question how to know the cause of nervousness, shortness of breath, shortness of breath, heart palpitations? After reviewing the symptoms you describe, your doctor thinks you may have an arrhythmia. The ultrasound results you provided appear to be clear of structural and functional cardiac abnormalities. To know exactly what disease you have, the doctor recommends you to do the following investigations:
Electrocardiogram : Help the doctor detect abnormalities or suggestive signs - guide the possible arrhythmia of the patient. patient. Holter 24-hour electrocardiogram (24-hour heart rate monitor): This is a type of monitor that monitors rhythm changes throughout the time the device is worn. Combined with the symptoms recorded during the time of wearing the device, we will find out the arrhythmias of the patient. Other tests: Electrolyte, liver function, kidney function and especially thyroid hormone should be considered, because according to statistics many arrhythmias are the result of other diseases. Echocardiography is always in place (even though you have done it before) – with modern echocardiography systems – 3D echocardiography, doctors can detect abnormalities and have clear answers for your heart structure and function. At Vinmec Health System hospitals, which are equipped with an electrophysiological system (exploration of electrical activities - heart rhythms), a very in-depth probe, providing many solutions to find out pathology for the patient, so you can go to the doctor for a more specific examination and advice.
