I am 31 year old male. I had several heart palpitations episode two months back. Two days before my first palpitation episode I went to check my BP levels as I was experiencing some discomfort, BP was 157/90 at that time however didn't take any medicine then. When I consulted the first doctor, he had taken my ECG shortly after palpitation where my heart beat per minute was around 125 and also taken my echo, Hotler test and treadmill test which didn't show any signs of arrhythmia or other complications. My echo test report showed a mild concentric LVH. Doctor advised me take promlet 20 mg for a week but it did not give me any relief. As advised then I consulted a electophysiologist, who prescribed me Ciplar la 40 mg for a month. During this time I didn't have any heart palpitation episodes. After the course I had stopped taking the medicine and almost for three weeks everything was fine. Three days back again I felt some discomfort, when I checked my BP level it was 150/90 this time. I consulted the doctor again, this time he advised me to undergo an EP study and for meanwhile to continue the same medicine. Is my palpitation as a result of high blood pressure level? I don't have any other medical history as such. I am not an overweight person. My first palpitation was during sleep, I am saying this because I have experienced shortness of breath during sleep and my sleep would be disturbed all of a sudden, this occurred once in a while. Should I undergo an EP Study?
