Hi .

I've been having palpations for a while . And they have been getting worse. So told doctor. He sent me for 2 resting ecgs and a 24 hour one .

Ecg results..

Atrial fibrillation with rapid response

Arrhythmia

Inferiior ischemia

Possibly myocardial infarction

They have booked me to see cardiologist for further investigation.

Due in today at 3.10 . They said appointment would be upto 2 hours.

Can anyone shed any light please on what I should expect. X
