I have been reading the forum with much interest and feel relieved about some of the issues, but I would like to just clarify a couple of things...

After having almost continuous palpatations for a couple of days along with dizziness and shortness of breath, I had an ECG done at my local GP, which I was initially told showed Atrial Fibrilation.  I started some medication, Sotacor and some aspirin.   Later, I saw a Cardiologist  (for under 5 mins) who announced that there was nothing wrong. Even though there was much confusion about whether the ECG results were the right ones, and I was not given any opportunity to ask any questions, I was dismissed quickly.    He said that I could stop the medication if I wanted to.  I thought that was an odd response as I didn't think you should take any medication you don't NEED.  So I have stopped taking it.

It has been over two weeks now, and they are still occuring almost constantly so I am continuously feeling faint, tight in the chest and dizzy.  Some of my symptoms definately coincide with what you have described as Palpatations, so I am in two minds.  Is it worth getting things looked at again, or am I just worrying unnecessarily??  I have even wondered if resuming the medication would help, I just don't want to self medicate I  guess, but it is quite debilitating and upsetting.

Cheers
Keri
