AF and junctional rhythm

I was diagnosed with AF in July 2015. I have had 4 episodes in 2.5 years.

I use 1.25 bisoprolol as a PIP and it has always restored normal sinus rhythm in less than 3 hours

I use my kardia on a regular basis which shows as normal with a heart rate of between 64 and 79

My problem is that my GP sent me for an ECG last week as I had digestive chest pain (I have Barrett’s esophagus)

I was called back to my GP the following day to be told that the ECG showed junctional rhythm - she had never heard of it

She said it was nothing to worry about unless I had symptoms such as chest pains

Unwisely I googled it when I got home

The problem is that I am due to go on holiday to Barbados next week and I am now feeling very anxious with palpitations and anxiety

I am afraid to go back to my GP in case she refers me for tests which will invalidate my travel insurance

I am a worrier so I would really appreciate any reassurance
