Question
Hi doctor,
For the past 20 years I have had occasional arrhythmias and slight difficulty breathing. I went to the general hospital, the doctor told me not to use drugs for autonomic neuropathy. For nearly 2 years now, the condition has gotten worse, the number of arrhythmias is more, such as tachycardia or wrist pulse, skipping a beat and then continuing to beat. I am currently taking the heart drug prolol 2.5 mg orally 1/2v, now the state of skipping beats occurs more often. I discovered that a thyroid patient about this year has not taken medication, is still working normally, driving a car, a porter, etc. Her condition worsens when she is worried. The doctor asked me if shortness of breath, arrhythmia is a symptom of what disease? Ask your doctor for advice. Thank you.

With the question “What disease is shortness of breath, arrhythmia is a symptom of?” , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
According to your description, it is possible that you have "Extrasystole", and its symptoms worry you. The treatment has not been effective, so the progress is prolonged. Therefore, you should visit the hospital with a cardiologist to determine the exact level of your "extrasystole", the doctor may have a 24-hour heart rate monitor. Holter electrocardiogram 24h), then will analyze your arrhythmia level, thereby giving an appropriate treatment plan.
