For some reason I am worrying about sudden adult death syndrome again.
I've never had an ecg but have had blood tests and doc has listened to my heart. However I'm terrified as it does happen and wIthaca no prior warning.
My dad has recently been diagnosed with a heart condition and I'm now worried it's genetic.
I want to make an appointment with my doc to speak about this but my doctors has a system whereby if your issue isn't deemed bad enough then you don't get an appointment. E.g. you have to tell them your issue over the phone. If I say I just want to speak to someone for reassurance, I'm sure they won't see me.
I often feel light headed and have a rapid heartbeat help.
