Just over a year ago I suffered from palpitations from March through to June, all day everyday, every minute. I chalked them up to anxiety because they got better when I started my new job. I had several ECG's but nothing caught one.
The other week whilst walking my dog I got a stitch like heart pain under the wire of my bra on the left. It went after sitting down but was there the next day when walking the same. Since then I've had the odd palpitation. Today whilst walking a very short walk I suddenly broke out in a massive sweat, we're talking falling off my face and armpits soaked. I am not a sweaty person and it wasn't at all hot here today. I booked a Doctor's appt. She took my blood pressure and said it moved a little fast at one point so she thinks she caught a fast row of beats. Now I'm so scared. This must've been an arrhythmia and what if I have one in my sleep? If it does this tomorrow I'm tempted to take myself to A&E out of fear. I just want something to calm me. Would they do an echocardiagram?
