View allI've been trying to lose weight but whenever I exercise, I feel this tightness in my chest and get out of breath super quickly, like even just climbing stairs or walking. It's hard to breathe and my heart starts beating really fast. My blood pressure is on the high side too, usually around 135100, and I have a fatty liver. What should I do about all this?

Is atrial flutter something that can actually be cured? Is catheter ablation the best solution for someone like me? I'm worried because I had mitral valve replacement surgery about six months ago and was doing fine until I got this bad cough. Suddenly, my heart rate shot up to 150 and it just won't come down. Now I've got a clot and I'm on blood thinners. Is there any hope for me or is this really serious?
Atrial flutter can be managed effectively with treatments such as catheter ablation. Catheter ablation is considered one of the best solutions for atrial flutter, especially when medications are not effective or not well tolerated. Atrial flutter may not go away on its own and often requires intervention. Given your history of MVR and the development of a high heart rate along with a clot, it is important to continue with the thinners as prescribed to prevent further complications. It is crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. There is hope for you, and the outcome will depend on various factors including the underlying cause of the atrial flutter, your overall health, and how well you respond to treatment. It is important to stay proactive in managing your condition and follow your healthcare provider's recommendations closely.

What test shows blocked arteries in the heart?
The most accurate method to detect blocked arteries remains an invasive test called cardiac angiography, which requires a catheter to be threaded into heart vessels. But the signs of blocked arteries may also be seen on an ECG.
