Cardiac contraction force?

Question

If someone suffered an attack consisting of a run of ectopic beats, followed by tachycardia and elevated cardiac force which increases to the piont of near syncope in about 40 seconds and is then replaced by tachycardia and near normal cardiac contraction force and then normocardia.

Would you still call this a panic attack?

Answer 1

When you say 'run of ectopic beats"-what are they? People can have a run of benign PAC's, get scared, get tachycardic, have an anxiety attack and almost pass out.
I'm not saying it's not something serious, but considering so much of people's problems are psycho social in nature, people have to stop expecting quick cures, like fast food. ER and MD's can not immediatly fix every problem. You treat the most likely thing, and then move on to the next until you get it figured out. But, you have to consider the WHOLE person, not just the symptom they're complaining of. And if no emergent problem is presented, likely or expected, it's not something that usually needs solving right away. Have you ever heard the saying "A tincture of time." It's really a great saying for alot of problems. It seems like you either have some medical knowlege, and/or some anger. Hope everything works out. And remember, there's nothing wrong with second opinions, nothing is a precious as your health, mental and physical.

Answer 2

Depends on where and when this all happened. Also depends on age and health history of the patient(person). Whatever it was it needs to be checked out.

Answer 3

No. {am I right?}
