Had to laugh today

Hi

I have been having a lot of palpitations recently and mentioned it to my GP who immediately wanted me to have a battery of blood tests done and an ECG as she thinks I have something called ectopic beats but wanted to make sure it was nothing more sinister.

I have anaemia and B12 deficiency and my levels haven't been checked for a while so I was happy to have the bloods taken. I had to fast for 14 hours and after the blood tests I had my ECG as I made sure I had 2 concurrent appointments.

After having the ECG the HCA told me my results were abnormal but not to worry, she then told me I must try and speak to the duty GP today to talk about my results. I was slightly panicking by this point and rushed home to await the phone call thinking there was something seriously amiss.

About 1 hour later the GP called and asked me some questions and then said the ECG look fine, she thought one of the leads was not connected properly as it was giving the readout that I was in the process of having a heart attack lol. Obviously this was not the case but I was relieved and had to laugh. So still no wiser as to what is causing the palpitations but at least I am not having a coronary.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.
