So I was sat there minding my own business this afternoon when all of a sudden I felt this fluttering in my chest at the top slightly to the left. I have had one off glittering before but this carried on in a string and when I took my pulse it was racing at rapid speed. I'm not sure how long this lasted before it slowed down to normal panic proportions.
I called nhs direct and they told me to go to a&e to be checked over. Basically they did an ECG which was fine and did sats which were fine.
They listened to my description and told me not to panic and that I am ok.
I am so frightened now though.
I don't know whether my heart was racing first or whether I panicked and this made it race. It was very very very fast.
Started worrying about af and svt now and other abnormalities and I am really scared of it happening again.
Has anyone had this before? I was relaxed at the time it happened.
