Looks like NSR with occasional PACs to me...etheral

[Singwell]

Looks like NSR plus a few ectopics. See how the main peaks are similarly spaced? There look like a few extra bumps that are kind of semi regular. Others here will know more.

[saulger]

To me it looks evenly spaced with an ectopic beat at the end of the strip. Could you post the full strip?

dont know best way to do this as you cannot insert PDF .

ecg AFib or ectopics

[saulger in reply to kkatz]

Thank you. Looks good to me with a few ectopic beats. I don't see and Afib or flutter (usual disclaimer...). Magnesium supplements (Taurate) are said to help with ectopic beats. Good luck, Kathy.

Don't you just love it when your reply flips out.try again.Only thing is my emay ECG shows Arrhythmia most of the time.Latest ecg

Hi Kathy. This ECG is different. Do I have your permission to show it to Sandi who is a nurse?

[kkatz in reply to saulger]

Yes please.q

[saulger in reply to kkatz]

Sent to Sandi.

[kkatz in reply to saulger]

You will now be inundated with requests "can you send to Sandi".I take Mag Taurate 1700/174 & added 750/87 Mag Malate about 6 wks ago.

If I can help and Sandi will not mind...

This is what Sandi wrote:

"NSR. With two bigemini beats. Bigemini is two beats closer together. Harmless but feel ominous.

Not afib as there are nice P waves.

Actually need a longer strip but still looks like NSR but there is some abnormality but it is not Afib."

Kathy, I would discuss it with your EP. You are in the blanking period (after your CA) and all kinds of things can come and go. I think that it is all normal, but just to check...

All the best. Saul

[kkatz in reply to saulger]

Thanks for all the help. I am not worrying at the moment. I like knowing what is going on with my body .It would usually show bigemini or even trigemini ,missed beats, premature beats & Arrhythmia if AFib but I could tell it wasn't that.Won't worry and monitor.

[kkatz]

That is doodee! I think you are just showing off LOL.If it was like that it would be easy. Hope you are getting it under control.

I know next to nothing about reading ECGs, but AliveCor have a library of arrhythmias that might be of interest, or not.

alivecor.com/education/arrh...

Something to read while you are "blanking" perhaps.

[kkatz in reply to ozziebob]

Wow brilliant.Lots of people will find that helpful..

[AblatedCyclist]

First and foremost I’m not a doctor…but having had both it looks like atrial flutter to me. I got flutter about a month after an ablation for AFib but my rate was a steady 135 bpm. After a few days of that my RP cardioverted (shocked) me back into rhythm and I’ve been fine since

[kkatz in reply to AblatedCyclist]

RP? Is this the same as EP?My HR not a prob. Low 70's to mid 80's depending on what I have been doing .

[Palpman]

Single P wave evident so definitely not Aflutter or Afib. Normal sinus rhythm with the occasional Premature Atrial Contraction followed by a compensatory pause.
