I was diagnosed with benign heart palpitations a few years ago and can have up to 20,000 per day when they are really bad. I went through a lot of testing (including seeing a specialist called an electrophysiologist who specializes in arrhythmias) and my cardiologist and the specialist ruled them benign.
The palps seem to come in waves. I'll have them for a while very badly and then not much for months. Fast forward a few years and I just went to my cardio again for my annual checkup during a time when the palps are in a frequent phase- - and he ordered another stress test! I was surprised as I thought he'd just reassure me and on my way I'd go.
It took a lot of effort a few years ago to get to a place where I trusted his diagnosis as benign. Now I'm wondering why he is retesting me if he's so sure they are benign. I'm concerned.
