Re: Long Term Ectopic Palpitations or Atrial Fibrillation Advice
Hey there. Watch ECG's are notoriously susceptible to movement artifact and can look pretty terrifying. I get readings that look a lot like yours. My 12 lead ECG showed some ectopics and a heart block (electrical signals get messed up now and then), but it didn't look remotely like my watch read-outs, which basically looked like an earthquake! Trust the 12 lead over the watch, especially as it was taken during the time you had symptoms. Certain arrhythmias and complexes can only be evaluated via a 12 lead. A single lead ECG like the watches have don't give a full picture of what your heart is actually doing. Fairly good at detecting afib, but useless for most of the other stuff. That's usually why doctors disregard them.
I get the same symptoms as you do. On top of that, it's like I'm suddenly dropping in an elevator when I get those flutters.
I hope you get answers soon, and a relief from your symptoms
