Hi all
Sorry for the silence, just thought I'd update this thread, in case it helps anyone else. After getting my echo, I was sent a 24 hour monitor, which I had to wear for guess what? 24 hours :-D
Waited a couple of weeks for the report, which came back as Amber . That freked me out again.. the comments were:
Significant ECG abnormality observed. Action may be required if underlying heart disease is known or suspected.
Nocturnal sinus bradycardia is detected
There are rare atrial ectopics (PSVCs) (burden = 0.14 %) presenting as 110 isolated beats and 4 salvos.
There are rare bifocal ventricular ectopics (PVCs) (burden = 0.35 %) presenting as 328 isolated beats.
I then got a message from cardiologist saying I should get in touch to discuss results.
Talking to the cardio, it turned out that all of the above is compleletly benign, and even the bradycardia is normal for me. He said that I could consider Beta Blockers if I found the palps troublesome, but I dont really need anything at all. The amber rating is because the monitor co dont have any background on me. The fact that the echo was good means I dont have any heart disease, so the warning was not really needed.
So, I am really happy and feel reassured.
Hope you are all well
