Really struggling.

Hiya I wonder if any one could help me? I'm at my wits end and don't know where else to turn. I'm a 34 year old female and have always gotten out of breath easily, but just put it down to me being a bit overweight. Anyway January the 7th I was awoken by by heart pounding out of my chest and shortness of breath( according to my watch heart rate 160) landed up going to a+e where they did an ecg, multiple blood test including d-dimer and troponin(sp?), a chest x ray And a ct scan with contrast of my chest. Everything was normal so I was sent home. A week later while sat watching tv I felt really faint, my chest went tight, my ears popped and boom heart rate was 150. This has been going on multiple times since January.Had over 20 ecgs numerous blood tests, seen a cardiologist who prescribed bisoporol, and advised I invest in a kardia machine.my resting heart rate has always been 90- 100 bpm, but has come down to the 80s since I started taking the bisoporol. I was due to have a 3 week monitor fitted 2 weeks ago, but because of corona virus it was cancelled. I've used the kardia device every time I have one of these episodes and it says everything is normal expect for short AV delay? I'm scared and no one at the moment can give me a diagnosis. I've gone just over 3 weeks without an episode, but had one last night (longest I've gone without an episode since this whole thing started). It stopped when I dunked my face in ice cold water.ive had everything thrown at me possible a fib, svt, Ist? But none if my ecgs are showing this. I have 4 children and I'm terrified I'm gonna die and leave them. Just wondering if anyone has any advicd

Thank you so much for your reply; you have no idea what it means to me. I know deep down that I'm not going to die, the cardiologist said I had more chance of being hit by a bus. It's just so scary when it happens, like yesterday I was led in bed watching a film with my husband and kids and it just came from nowhere.

It's the unknown that frightens me; I think once I know what it is I'll deal with it a lot better.

Would I be ok to ring the cardiac nurses, even though I don't have a diagnosis, I wouldn't want to waste their time?

That sounds really unpleasant.I'd keep recording it with the Kardia and see what happens whilst you try the bisoprolol.Try to keep a record of what you eat, drink etc. as well.You need to see if there is a pattern here.If your palpitations are high and last for a whole don't hesitate to phone 111.I get palpitations and ectopics and flutter.I take propanolol which helps me.Hope it settles.
