Lyme disease is a systemic infection caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi.
Cardiovascular involvement occurs in fewer than 10% of patients with untreated Lyme disease and is more common in male patients than in female patients.
Palpitations, lightheadedness, and syncope may be a manifestation of varying degrees of heart block, including complete heart block, which occurs in 50% of patients with cardiac involvement.

usually on east coast...
IgG should be checked...
severe form like this should be treated with ceftriaxone/penicillin G
otherwise in stage 1 which was 3 months earlier...doxy/ amoxi were the choice
