What can cause a brief episode of v tach in a 24yo adult? structurally normal heart (by echo) & no arrhythmias (by 30day event monitor). k lvl was 3.2

A sick sinus node: 24 is young to have heart problems unless it runs in your family. Cocaine, amphetamines, and some medications can cause vtach. A strong disalva reflex from straining due to constipation or getting hit in the solo plexus can cause arrthymias. Vtach often requires medical attention and shocking the heart back to a normal rhythm. Electrolyte imbalances can cause arrthymias
