Sharing symptoms, causes, and treatment experiences of bradyarrhythmic arrhythmia

I experienced a sudden fainting episode three years ago.

I was startled and got a health checkup, and I was diagnosed with bradycardic arrhythmia.

I would like to learn about the symptoms and causes of arrhythmia and share treatment methods.

 

 

 

Our heart is undoubtedly the most important organ in our body.

You are always running, but most of the time you are not aware of your heart's movements.

But sometimes I feel my heart pounding.

If you experience heart palpitations without any cause such as tension in daily life, you should suspect arrhythmia.

 

  

 

Arrhythmia refers to an irregular heartbeat, and if the heart beats slower than normal,

It is called bradyarrhythmia when the heartbeat is slower than normal, and tachyarrhythmia when it beats faster than normal.

Such irregular heartbeat weakens heart function, leading to a decrease in the amount of blood pumped from the heart.

Symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, and fainting appear.

 

 

As a cause of arrhythmia

Congenital heart defect

Tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, etc.

Other heart diseases (myocardial infarction, hypertension, etc.)

Hyperthyroidism

It is said to be caused by the back.

 

Methods of examining arrhythmia

Electrocardiogram (ECG) test

24-hour electrocardiogram test

Exercise stress electrocardiogram test

Orthostatic Test

Echocardiogram

Electrophysiological examination

There is a back.

 

Treatment methods for arrhythmia

 

1. Cause correction: quitting smoking, abstaining from alcohol, discontinuing medication, reducing caffeine intake, etc.

2. Medication treatment: Beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, antiarrhythmics, digoxin

3. Defibrillator, Implantable Defibrillator: Treats tachyarrhythmia with electrical stimulation

4. Artificial pacemaker: Provides artificial electrical stimulation to the heart to treat bradyarrhythmia.

5. Electrocautery resection: Treats by cutting the area that causes arrhythmia.

6. Surgical resection: Treatment by surgically cutting the area that causes arrhythmia.

7. Antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants: treatment to prevent blood clots caused by arrhythmia

 

 

In my case, I was diagnosed with bradyarrhythmia after an electrocardiogram performed following a fainting episode.

Fortunately, since the situation is not serious, correct the cause in daily life.

They have been prescribed a method to strengthen the heart and prevent arrhythmia from occurring.

 

Receiving a diagnosis of arrhythmia makes me feel anxious, as if I have a bomb in my heart.

I wonder when and under what circumstances my heart will slow down more. It's scary, but I live a healthy life with regular check-ups.

If you ever feel your heart pounding, an electrocardiogram can also check for arrhythmia.

Please make sure to receive medical treatment at the hospital.

Once I receive an accurate diagnosis, I feel more at ease.
