Several members, including me on a now deleted post, have suggested to you in the several posts you have made over the last day or so on the same or similar subject, that you should discuss your ECG print out with a health professional who is qualified to form a clinical opinion on what it shows. Asking the same question over and over again is unlikely to bring any other answer, especially since members on here, in the main, are not medically qualified and even if they were, they are discouraged from providing medical advice on here. So in short go talk to a health professional.

However if you want to discuss your health situation with the community, then explain what is causing you concern so that members can understand , and there may be members who have similar conditions who may be able to offer and share their experiences, noting that this will not be direct medical advice.

Thank you for your answer. I would like to know about similar situations. I have months of waiting, calling, trying to find out what's going on and still waiting and searching while dealing with a health issue. Probably good for a patient to interact and find out more. I'd like to find out if lifestyle changes are needed, if or what else might help, especially when there isn't much information. People probably try to cope each in their own way while waiting for help. I'm not expecting professional medical advice on this site, I would still think though that someone might have had a similar experience and I could find out how they got through it. Probably other patients would like to know more about similar cases. Sorry for insisting, any advice is welcome, thank you

Rather than post these ecg printouts which none of us are qualified to interpret you need to tell us about your symptoms and any problems you may have been diagnosed with instead. Then you may receive some helpful replies based on others experiences.

Hi, thank you for the message, please check my bio, I have explained there.

I’ve now looked at your bio. It seems that you are undergoing investigations? It would be best to wait for the results or contact your doctors again for advice.

Your symptoms are so varied that you really do need to get advice from medical professionals, as I said previously, none of us are qualified to give you that advice.

Either contact your GP or phone 111 or visit A&E if things get worse.

Hope you get the help you need from the medical professionals x

Thank you, I hope so too. The blood pressure and heartbeat drops are followed by fast rising, as said, probably the body is trying to supply oxygen to the brain. The emergency said that if there is no fainting, no problem. I start with a natural treatment for blood circulation, so the walking and balance are good, rare small stammering. But I still don't know sure what happened and what I can do to avoid this in the future. I am following the right steps with the medical advice.

If it's not been done before, ask your GP to test you for potts as this could possibly be what's causing at least some of these symptoms. Just a tip, write down the three problems/symptoms that are causing you the most concern and take this list with you when you visit your GP. This will give them the main symptoms to concentrate on during the brief appointment time.

Make sure they list these in your notes during your discussion.

To my uneducated eye, there’s a few premature atrial contractions - nothing to worry about.

I don’t quite understand what you hope to achieve by your posts. We, as non medically trained nobodies on the internet, can have a guess at best as to what your ecg shows. How does this help you though??? What benefit is it to you if we tell you what we ‘think’ we can see?

It’s pointless and quite possibly dangerous - especially if you were the person who posted the NSVT the other day.

Edited to add: I just read your very detailed and lengthy bio and I still don’t understand what you are expecting here. I hope you find some answers but I’d imagine that will be at your doctors, not here

Thank you for answering. I thought I would find out if there are similar experiences and learn from them. I wrote the bio for a whole picture of what happened because it happened in one night and not gradually. I would like to do other good things instead, like many other people probably, first I have to get better. In fact, I wrote this a few weeks ago, trying to write in detail what happened because I had to see the doctor for the consultation. Simple, due to the speech difficulty at that time (that comes and reappears with the left side head pain), it was hard for me to speak, so I wrote. Not easy, because at that time I was writing by confusing the letters, for reasons that I don't understand today. There are 20, minutes for the consultation in which you have to explain right and fast out how, and what happened, followed by the consultation, treatment or recommendations. I'm trying to find out if others have gone through the same thing. I followed the advice, following the right steps. I received today the cardiology consultation report, recommending Bisoprolol and a meeting in the next 6 months. And a recommendation to see the neurology doctor, in the future. So, I will see my GP next month and through him, I will send a message regarding how the Bisoprolol works for me. Your question about what I am expecting here: I am looking forward to other people`s experiences, trying to understand, in the meantime and any advice is much appreciated. As I said, I do not have a lifestyle, effort, eating, or weight recommendation or anything else. Apologise for any inconvenience, thank you for making time to read my post

It seems like your GP is the person who can help explain exactly what is happening with you and your health currently. If you would like some general information and support around your heart health, please reach out to the Heart Helpline to chat with a cardiac nurse - bhf.org.uk/informationsupport .

I see you have a complex medical history and are finding it hard to get answers from medical people.

Before you have your next consultation write down, BRIEFLY, what the problem is and the symptoms that you are experiencing,

When you have to the consultation, try to have someone with you who can make notes of what the medical practitioner tells you - because it can sometimes be hard to explain things and listen to the replies at the same time.

In the meantime, you are in charge of your own lifestyle and diet. If you look up the British Heart Foundation website you will find lots of ways you can help yourself

Thank you Happyrosie, I wrote so I can show it to the doctor (being hard to explain again and a gain, with the speech impairment at that time), and it looks weird now, for doing this.. I know the notes that I get each time, and I cannot miss these. And this is why I am looking here too, for pieces of advice like yours, I will check the British Heart Foundation website, any helpful information for the puzzle is good, thank you.
