Hi April,

Does your dad suffer from anxiety? If so that could be it. If not remember many people get palpitations as they get older even if they are not anxious, so it could just be that. My boss is only mid 40's and she gets them but she is ok and doesn't have anxiety either. Another colleague of mine is 24 and she gets them occasionally and doesn't have anxiety either. Most palps end up being normal and harmless.
I know it's hard but it doesn't mean you both have a hereditary disorder, especially as all the tests are normal.

I can't really say about the blackouts as I'm not sure if bp can do that, maybe someone else can help with that.

Take care,

Hi April,

Yes ECG's can show serious problems. There are many reasons for blackouts and some are quite simple so try not to worry too much.
I know I have bad heart symptoms and bad anxiety when my period is due and it's horrible.
I hope the doctor can reassure you.

april let us know how you get on but seriouls y does sound like anxiety. it is unlikely to be hereditory and yes ecgs do pick up problems

its hard i know to convince people like us thar there is nothing wrong, but your doctor will do her best, try to believe her
