Had an event in August when I felt very unwell, did not pass out but had to get paramedics to attend. Ecg diagnosed AF and heart block.Since then no further events. Had echocardiogram, all normal.
Had a mobile Holter monitor for 7 days , no abnormalities shown.
Am now waiting for an implantable monitor which will hopefully reveal a cause, no date yet given.
Would be interested to hear if anyone had a similar experience?
It was at times very warm in August,. Could it have been heat and lack of water that started it off?
I had a similar event started feeling lightheaded and dizzy, and my pulse rate dropped, went to A and E ECG and tests OK. A month later I was sweeping the kitchen and the lights went out, completely blacked out with no warning. Taken to A and E again and fitted with a pacemaker the next day. All good now and what a difference. Take care and discuss with your cardiologist to see what they think.
Hi Thanks for your message. Nice to hear you are doing well.
I am waiting for contact from my cardiologist and will raise the question of a pacemaker with him. I think, given the current state of the NHS, it may be a while before I make it on the list for an implantable monitor to try and determine the cause of my event.
Could you tell me if you had any warnings about not driving following your first event. Thanks
No one had said anything but looking back I hate to think what the outcome could have been had I not been standing in the kitchen when I came round I had a gash on my forehead and an egg sized lump on my skull. Please take advice as there was no warning before I just bkackef out. In
