Hi All

I went to a private GP around 4 weeks ago as I experienced palpitations and a pain in my left arm/upper left chest area and back regularly especially when anxious.

He listened to my heart, took my BP and did some physically exams on my neck and found I had a trapped nerve. He did not mention an irregular heart rhythm.

I have since then been keeping an eye on my pulse and have found it at times to be irregular even when it is at a normal BPM. My husband mentioned in passing that years ago he rememebrs falling asleep on my chest and hearing a really irregular heart beat.

So i went to a locum Dr yesterday who has arranged an ECG which she classed as non urgent for Tuesday. She said my BPM was fine and BP fine but didnt mention if it was regular or not.

I am terrified I have some underlying condition which could kill me before I even have the test on Tuesday :(
