Hello! With the symptoms you describe, the doctor thinks you may have arrhythmia diseases. To diagnose the disease, the doctor needs to do some initial investigations such as:
Surface electrocardiogram: is a probe to evaluate the electrical activity of the heart based on 12 leads attached to the patient, recording the activity ECG for 1 to 2 minutes. This is the most basic investigation of arrhythmia diagnosis. Echocardiography: assessment of heart structure and function is very valuable, especially excluding congenital heart disease or other lesions as the cause of the symptoms described by the patient. Holter electrocardiogram: a special device that monitors the electrical activity of the heart for 24 hours, giving doctors the opportunity to detect acquired arrhythmias of the patient. So your doctor's advice for you is: You need to go to a cardiologist, especially centers with experience in arrhythmias, such as hospitals under Vinmec Health System. Here you will be examined, perform in-depth investigations and detect accompanying diseases. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, your doctor will advise on the most appropriate treatment strategy for your condition with tachycardia and palpitations.
