Male white 6ft 27 yo very obese 26 stone. UK
This last week and manily past few days been having reaaly bad shortness of breathe feels like im being restricted and when lying down its very bad aswell.
Just walking around I feel VERY out of breath, I am convinced I got massive heart issues and heart faliure due to lying down and being short of breath.
I have had
2 x Echo done 3 months ago both "Normal"
48 Hour ecg last week which was abnormal, I had 17 atrial ectopics ( < 0.01 % burden) presenting as isolated beats.
Had a normal resting ecg which was normal "Today"
and Stress test also "Today" which came back normal.
See below for reports if it helps
Anyone ideas. Would what I have done so far rule out anything serious such as HF would I need more tests to be done.
" The dominant rhythm is sinus rhythm. Minimum sinus rate 61 bpm on Day 2 / 12:13:02 , maximum sinus rate 162 bpm on Day 1 / 22:37:00 , average rate 92 bpm. Normal diurnal and nocturnal variation in heart rate seen across the recording period. Diurnal sinus tachycardia observed with gradual onset/offset. 17 atrial ectopics ( < 0.01 % burden) presenting as isolated beats. Examples to include aberrant conduction. No evidence of ventricular ectopy. Diary returned with symptoms of nocturnal palpitations reported. ECGs correlate with sinus rhythm with rates between 82 - 91 bpm with isolated PSVCs. "
The echo images were limited due to your size. As you can appreciate for patients with a larger BMI the image quality becomes compromised. Nevertheless the scan shows the pumping action of the heart to be normal and the aortic and mitral valves were working as they should. "
