Can you drive with intermittent broad complex tachycardia that doesn’t give you many symptoms?

After phone call from cardiologist last evening informing me of episodes of broad complex tachycardia on my 5 day ECG I’m left with many questions. I’m a 60yr female. HA and AFib 9 months ago. Not a risk factor in sight. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Being referred to electrophysiologist.

Any advice please. Thank you.

I'd suggest at this stage a call back to your cardiologist to ask the specific question about driving is your best bet. It is possible to go through the DVLA check list to search and try to identify your present diagnosis to determine whether it affects your licence.

I spoke to the DVLA when I had my stroke and they said if it was OK with my GP it was OK with them. (40 clear days post stroke or TIA)

All the best.
