Cardiologist

After five months of regular episodes of very irregular heartbeat & bradycardia where my heart rate drops as low as 35 bpm. I finally got to see a cardiologist today at RUH Bath. He was brilliant & helped me understand a lot of what is happening. As they don't have enough recorded info they are going to fit an implanted loop recorder which will feed the information on every event back to them. Once they have more to go on it might be manageable with medication otherwise they will fit a pacemaker. I'm so relieved that they are taking me seriously & hopefully will have some answers quickly.
