Hi. I'm a 20 year old girl. Since I was 3 I've had seizures. They're usually random and I have 5 seconds to tell someone I feel sick. I've had one when running, when extremely scared and when ill. Usually just randomly though. They're undiagnosed.
I've recently read about Long QT Syndrome and am worried it's a possibility. My GP said it would have picked it up on my resting ECG (I've had about 30!) all that is picked up is second degree heart block type 1 and inappropriate sinus tachycardia. - yeah for a 20 year old my body sucks.
However I've read about concealed Long QT Syndrome and am worried this might be the case with me? Is this likely? I don't see my cardiologist for another month.
I recently had a 4 day ECG and it didn't pick anything sinister up, just the heart block. If I had Long QT - would it have picked it up on that?
I'm also currently 3 days into wearing a 28 day ECG at home. (2 sticky pads and a little monitor clipped to my chest) would this pick it up?
I'm terrified I'm literally going to drop dead and going into sudden cardiac death. any advice please.
Thanks guys x
