Echo all done

[Deerpark01]

Hi all .

Been for echocardiogram today .

Valves ect checked. Physically side of things.

All ok . Which is relieve as my dad has valve issues .

So if anything it's the electrical side of my heart

She says she dosent seem to think its age or anxiety.

Next is cardiac event monitor on Thursday.

She seems to think it will be 2 months with it on . When I have a episode .. ect .. tape it . And email recording after each episode . If any issues they will phone me up .

Will know more on Thursday

And when echo results are back .

Hi,

You don’t mention whats happening when you get these episodes?

[Deerpark01 in reply to Johnbobby]

Sorry. Palpitations. Tightness across shoulders. And dizziness if a bad one .

[Johnbobby in reply to Deerpark01]

Sounds similar to mine. I had a 24Hr tape which showed ventricular ectopics, which happen to most people so they are pretty common apparently. When i asked why i would get dizzy etc cardiologist mentioned that being anxious about them could cause those symptoms. Easy for him to say lol!

I've had 24 holter to .

And have ectopic. Cardio says hes not worried about them . But wants to get to the bottom of things about palpations.

I agree can be scary when your heart goes .

And dizziness to .

Let's hope we get some answers one way or the other.

And if its anxiety what's causing things .. try find a way to cope better .

Xx

Yeah heres hoping! When you say palpitations do you mean ectopics or periods when your heart starts racing etc?

[Deerpark01 in reply to Johnbobby]

I have fast racing heartbeats.

And moments when heart seems to stop to briefly .

I have LBBB which is faulty electrics. Skipping beats or whoopsie moments i call them. Mine appears to be from birth and possibly a hole on the septum. Just waiting on my results for my second echo also..

[Deerpark01 in reply to Brandibell]

Hope your results come back ok xx

When your Heart Pauses it's quite scary, I thought I was imaging it when it started to happen to me. It was on a Holter that it was revelled that the longest pause I was having was 3 seconds. I had a very High Burden of Ectopic Beats ( Cardiologists Description ) When they come as Tri gemminy or Bi geminy they can cause a little light headedness ( is that a word ). After being on Entresto for a year they have gone away thank goodness I don't know if it works for everyone but did for me !!

Regards
