In 2015 after about 6 years of irregular heart patterns on and off I was convinced by my sister (nurse) to get checked out. I was 43 years old and having rapid heartbeats that would take my breath away and I felt like I was about to collapse mainly after exercise. I ended up in CCU for a week for more tests to which they concluded I have a rare heart condition called CPVT. Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) causes an irregular heart rhythm that can be life threatening. It often shows up in childhood, but can show up later in life. The first sign is often fainting or near fainting during exercise or strong emotion.
