Hi,

I went to doctor on Friday for routine bp check and felt fine but while she was taking it she felt my pulse and said I had ectopic beats and was sending me for an ecg. I asked if it was anything to worry about and she replied that's what I need to find out, so I wasn't v.reassured. Had ecg today and foolishly looked at result sheet and it says abnormal, marked sinus bradychardia. I know that means slow heartbeat and it's probably because of bp tabs (atenolol) and the fact I am a lot fitter now and have lost weight but am just worried there might be something else wrong too. Have worked myself up into big panic over this and been googling stuff. Do you think the abnormal bit just refers to slow heartrate or something else? Anyone else had this? Have looked up ectopic beats on site and know they're nothing to worry about (easier said than done), just worried about the abnormal remark!
