Missed heartbeats

Have spoken to my Arrhythmia nurse who thinks its ectopics ( which I agree with ) and if so not dangerous. However have to go and have an ecg in an hours time for her to check .

She says it sounds like an impulse is leaking through to heart following ablation.

Bless yer. Nasty little devils these ectopics. I call them 'heart demons'. I had an ecg requested by my doc as I was having loads none stop. I won't tell you what I call the nasty big arrhythmias when they come, it's not fit for print lol.

Hope they get to the bottom if it for you.

Hi I am having an ECG next week for the same reason. I have ectopics and the nurse said last week that my pulse rate was low and she couldn't feel all the beats. My heartbeat was all over the place this morning and I felt really lightheaded. How did you get on with your ECG?

Well the trouble with an ecg is it only records for an instant and guess what? No ectopics during ecg!. Still having them sporadically but unless I go into full blown AF dont think I can do anything.

Still feels awful when I have them . When I dont I feel great. Having Holster monitor at end of september but thats ages away. Hope they catch yours( even though I dont wish them on you)
