I have felt quite reassured to read the forum and see that it is not only me it happens to. My Doc is also dissmissive however she did say to call 999 when I get a really bad episode in order to be monitored! I would prefer to have a 24hr ECG but that doesnt seem to be on the cards. Does anyone find that alcohol affects them, I do lately, on the day following a couple of glasses of wine. This is really affecting my life, I have contemplated writing letters to everyone I know in case I drop down dead, am so depressed and worried.
