Hello
Over the last year, I've occasionally been experiencing a new arrhythmia.
- it only happens lying down in bed in the evening
- it's very, very rapid, I'm guessing 4-5 "beats"(probably wrong word) PER SECOND,
- very light, regular in pattern (like a machine-gun),
- doesn't affect how I feel, doesn't hurt or have any affect on me (but I am lying down).
- it goes after 10-20 minutes
- it's never happened during the day or whilst standing or sitting, just at night when I lie down.
Is this atrial flutter? Dr Google seems to think so. Never had this arrhythmia so just wondering. I've looked at example ECG's online and the chart of flutter looks like what I'm feeling.
I think I'll book myself in for a review with my cardio, but just wondering in the meantime what others who've had the same might think.
