AFIb and have some Long QT Syndrome?

Need advice. Always active, sports, Army, ect. I drink one cup of tea a day. OTC pain reliever at times. Vitamins including Magnesium. When i was in my teens my resting heart rate sometimes would just pound my chest. As adult there are times where it beats fast, then slower. Sometimes trying to sleep. But what upsets me is my heart pauses. Like the equivalate of a beat and a half than it beats very hard for a few beats before normal. Under stress its a bit worse. This is not all the time. But will flair up for a few hours. Very noticeable when it does. Diagnosed as "occasional" AFIB. Gave me meds to use "when i felt i needed it." EKG "showed a slight something" but nobody told me what. Otherwise normal. Ive had medical procedures with EKG hooked up, nobody said anything. Yesterday i had a number of heart pauses and got dizzy! This time rather alarming. I hit the internet looking. In addition to AFIb could i have some Long QT Syndrome?

Thank you

Will

Don't try and guess, either get checked out again or it worth having a Kardia 6L.

I have been thinking about getting the Kardia 6L. That way when it flairs up i can record it.
