What causes this and how can I prevent this from happening? NEW TO PAGE***

I have LGL Syndrome of the heart and have frequent episodes of scary chest pain and palpitations, however, even when I do not get an episode with my heart i find myself gasping for air at night ( not caused by sleep apnoea). Over the last week i have had episodes of severe dizziness/ swaying feeling, ringing in ears, sore eyes and hearing goes funny when this happens along with feeling of a tight band across top of my head. It is very scary making you feel like your going to 'die' and waking up with headaches every morning. Can anyone help me put my mind to rest pls? I do get leg pain etc with this but my blood pressure is always normal. Could compression stockings help?

That's a lot to contend with Pink. Nightime cardiac events are always very scary and I have had my fair share. Do let the forum know your outcome which I hope is favourable.
