sick sinus syndrome

good morning I am 45 and I have an erratic heart rate. 38BPM TO 196BPM I have been spoken to about POTS as that’s what initially they thought it could be! I have been tested for Addison disease that was negative and also had others that were negative. I’ve now been referred to cardiology as GP thinks it’s sick sinus syndrome, has anyone heard of this? Or experienced it? Thanks

hi Katwhite2 I have sick sinus. Like you it took some time to diagnose. Cardiology gave me a pace maker 8 years ago. That has been brilliant for me. Hopefully once you get to cardiology things will move along swiftly and that you get sorted and feel so much better
