Yet another hospital appointment. Sprung on me this time, at short notice, just a phone call, where they said they would text the details of what and where - except, they never did, just the day, and time. Ended up with a panic this morning, wondering which hospital, and where in the hospital. Yet another ECG, but not sure why at the time. Then told I would be seeing a heart consultant, with the ECG printout.
The consultant, asked me if I knew why the ECG had been requested, I suggested either for the forth coming OP, or to try to diagnose the episodes I have been suffering. He said it was the latter reason, and absolutely nothing had shown up in any of the ECG's, or during the 24-hour monitoring record - I didn't suffer an episode at all, during that 24 hour period. He now wants to try a 72-hour monitor. What he did say, was my heart appeared to be as strong as an ox, but there might be some sort of glitch happening, which has yet to be spotted.
Yep, I am still suffering the elusive episodes. It seems if I do anything to try to alleviate them, they stop for a while, then come back.
