I've suffered from flutters since I was about eleven or so, I've had numerous ECGs (three at my surgery and numerous due to necessary hospital treatments) which have all come back normal. I've never dared ask for any other tests for fear the surgery might get angry at me. I don't get many palpitations - about ten noticeable ones a week, sometimes more depending on what I'm doing. They tend to just happen randomly and without a pattern but one of the biggest triggers is hot baths and sexual activity. I sometimes suffer from dizziness with exercise and sometimes also flutters.

None of this has ever been picked up on ECGs. My GP said it was very normal to feel your heart jumping a bit every so often, I have mentioned it to other GPs and they have said the same. I am terrified though of sudden death syndrome to the point I barely leave the house.

I get more worried when on here or if I google for information as everyone I have met who has suffered from these symptoms (especially on here) has seen cardiologists, had 24 hr heart monitors etc - a lot of people say that for everything to be ruled out, you must have the events picked up by ECG. I've never had any of that and I'm unsure what to do. I sort of feel like my GP must be going wrong but then I have asked other GPs who haven't even mentioned tests at all. I have my hospital consultant next week (though she specialises in bladder cancer and bladder problems), will I ask her for advice? Have tried CRY and BHF both of whom didn't offer a lot of advice.
