Hmmmmm warning shots

Hi peopleHope all is well, I haven't been feeling great 3 months post 2nd ablation and EP study. Just seem to be degrading as I stopped Amioderone 2 months now. I had a longer attack earlier today and wasn't wearing my Wellue (typical)

I popped it on and had what felt like to start of what I had earlier and it was my friend VT.

I have a box of Amioderone on stand by so emailed my EP in London and in Cardiff for the blessing to start loading back up

No AF though........ yet

I only picked up the potential but it was 100% the same for longer earlier and had to go to ground

I get many of these, maybe up to 8 at a time. They feel strangely disturbing. The new Contec home ECG I use sometimes just labels them as "missed beats" (and gives a low heart rate, too, as a result, or otherwise as "arrhythmia". The cardiologist I see calls them (and all others), "ectopic beats". They can cause me to need to breathe more deeply and to feel light headed if I stand up while they happen.

Hate them Steve, makes me feel the end is nigh and when it's debatable VT amongst some it is alarming, nice to know I'm not alone on this one

I use an AI ECG on occasion from Wellue, and it easily confused and can worryingly sometimes report VT. The cardiologist I see assures me it’s all atrial and the misreading is because I also have LBBB which makes ECGs difficult to interpret - even to experts.
