Hi all,
Its been really interesting reading the other threads on here, all with symptoms relating to mine, its great to have reassurance
Now here is my issue, i have ectopics all the time, during and after exersize, sitting watching TV ect and ive just learnt to live with them, the flutter, thump-thud, sometimes 3 or 4 after each other.
However i recently started getting a change in rythm, i would be sat doing nothing them get 5 or 6 hard fast single thuds in the chest, really close together, my wife who is a nurse took my pulse and said it felt like atrial fibrillation so we called an ambulance (after speaking to the doctors)
the ambulance man caught the rapid beats and immediately said the same AF so off to hospital i went.
Sat in the prep area i got another ECG and it also caught the run of weird beats, but the ECH caught them right at the start and right at the end of the print out.
When i go up to CCU the beats stopped, nothing on the monitor for 12hrs so they let me out.
When i asked about the ECG they looked at the print out and said it looked like fast heart beats and nothing more.
I wasnt convinced so i went to my GP and she looked at the ECG and she said it looked like interference on the monitor
this is a snapshot of the 5 or 6 beats i felt, as soon as these stopped i felt nothing
my echo and 24hr monitor came back ok with general ectopics, but im not convinced these beats were just fast?
RLR you may be able to help?
