@jigglejaws94 @mogirl92 could you share your insights about the loop recorder?
@traceysmith, do you feel that your heart is beating too fast or too slow? Have you told your doctors about the sinus rhythm and your recent symptoms?

I do not have an obstruction, I had to go on line to find a docter. But I found one,and he's only 2 hours way so not to bad... thanks. 🙂
I've had the loop for about 1 year 5 mouths... it has shown af, tackiecardia and bradycardia, eptopic beats,. (sorry for spelling). I fill my heart 24hours a day, more at nite when I'm in bed... when I got the loop fitted it only took them 10 mins... so much better then wearing a monitor... I tell my docter every thing.. but I'm not sure he hears what I say... (but I may be wrong)

Hi @tracysmith and welcome. Often times HCM symptoms are caused by obstruction and not arrythmias. Do you know whether you are obstructed? Are you seeing a doctor who is a specialist in HCM? I know there are several in the UK.
