I put up a post 'new here - ectopic beats and dizzyness' a week or so ago, and have just had the results of the cardiac event monitor i wore for a week.
It seems that it is all psychological - my heart is not beating abnormally, and I have just found out that it is normal for your heart to speed up when you breath in and slow down when you breath out. This is what i was interpreting as an irregular beat!
The doctor has suggested that hyperventilation causes the dizzyness so i just need to stop getting so worked up.
I'm so relieved that my heart is not going to suddenly stop! Hopefully now i've been reassured that my heart is ok i can get on top of this...:)
