Hi all,
Ive visited a cardiologist recently after i had, 7 months ago an scary episode. I was walking outside in the sun (i live in Thailand so a lot of humidity and really hot) and i suddenly started to have very fast heartbeat along with irregular heartbeats (lot of extra beats, its hard to tell as i was getting more and more anxious and i couldn't sit down since i was walking outside) but i had no pain, no dizziness, no fatigue (even though i just finished 12 hours work shift and drank quite few coffees.)
Then i had my tests in which all came back normal (x-ray, blood test, echo, EKG, stress test.) Ive never experimented this episode again beside some heart skip feeling sometimes but I'm used to it since Ive been suffering from anxiety for 10 years now.
Now i am worrying that i may have fib that haven't been diagnostized when i had my tests since i never had an episode like this again. The cardiologist did see a abnormal q wave on one of my EKG but after 2 tests (stress test, echo) he told me to worry about nothing that everything was normal and even told me to not take betablockants as i don't need it.
So yes, I'm still quite scared i may have afib and he didn't see it since i didn't have nothing during the test. All these tests were actually suppose to help me calm down inside but I'm still scared even though the cardiologist didn't seems bothered at all.
Can someone help me understand better please.
P.S: Im 26, 5f11 for 190 lbs, no heart disease in my family, healthy in general beside a beer belly.
