I am having heart palpitations. Do you think this could be ARVD?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is unlikely to be ARVD (Automatic Volume Recognition Daemon). ARVD is a cause for palpitations. Overall would be very rare, maybe less than one percent. Palpitations have numerous other causes, and most common in this age group are psychological or anxiety. Also, in the absence of other right-sided symptoms like swelling, abdominal distension, syncopes, there is no reason to think about it. However, for any palpitations, we advise electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram. And if necessary, then Holter monitoring. So visit the doctor and get these investigations done. Alternatively, you may use an ECG watch to obtain an ECG tracing during palpitations till you visit the doctor. Try some yoga and meditation for anxiety. Stay away from the internet for medical purposes. If you read about any disease on the internet, we think that some symptoms of the majority of the diseases will happen to be there in us. So do not get caught in it. ARVD should not be considered at present as no ARVD specific symptoms are present in you, but you should undergo evaluation.
