Hi
I just found out I have fast and slow heart rates daily. All because I switched from Samsung to Apple, and my Apple watch has been telling me my heart rate is under 50 and over 100. I have had a few irregular EKGs in the past, but when they were redone, I had a perfect sinus rhythm. I even had one of those life screenings, because my husband is a heart patient and I wanted to get ahead of the game, and it came back that I had an extra heartbeat, but when I took the report to my PCP they did an EKG, and it was normal.
After my watch started notifying me of different heart rates, I started taking my blood pressure daily, and it was normal, but it would also pick up these different heart rates.
I made an appointment with my husband's cardiologist and she had me wear a Holter monitor for 5 days. I just had my ECO done, and now I wait for the results. The technician did mention a PVC or an arrhythmia, but I have absolutely NO symptoms at all. I don't feel anything. The tech asked me if I felt flutters, dizziness, or pounding, and I have never had any symptoms.
I am a breast cancer survivor and had 35 weeks of daily radiation, which can cause heart problems later. I don't see the Dr until May 15th, so I just have to wonder what the heck it is, and is it something serious? I am guessing if they found something that needed immediate attention they would contact me, or at least I hope so.

@clementyne We'll all have to await the results. Guessing isn't going to be more than a waste of anxious energy in my opinion. If it is an arrhythmia, it can be managed, but it depends on which arrhythmia and what is to be done for it. You'll have to be patient.
