So I have been having skipped beats since I was 18, but badly for the last year, started on Xmas Day 2016 really bad. Having bouts of skipped beats every 3 seconds, every minute of every hour and lasting for around 1 week before they stopped.
Saw the doctor and he finally said we need a cardiologist's opinion on whats going on as nothing showed on a heart monitor or ECG, just benign ectopics.
2 x ECG's, bloods, Echo and MRI later, we have an answer. I have a very mild "left ventricular impairment" which has caused my heart to be slightly enlarged. But from what they could see no abnormalities and all is ok apart from this but something that needs some medication to help shrink my heart and relax it so the problem can sort it's self out.
Very scared at the moment as I was hoping it was just anxiety and all in my head, but hoping at they have got the problem early it can be fixed and I can see my little boy grow up!
Just needed to vent today to get it out there, been finding it difficult to talk about without getting very upset, I just need to speak about it.
Thanks
