@tlaun44 I totally understand the exhaustion I used to stay awake at night thinking it would come on during my sleep and it did. I don’t understand why no one such as cardiologist is referring you to an EP Physician for an Ablation unless your HR doesn’t get high enough. My HR was over 180 when it happened. EP won’t do ablation unless your HR is high. That’s not to say a HR of 120’s isn’t a problem. Also did your Cardiologist try Metoprolol?

@poojamama cardiologist did nothing other than tell me “this is not life threatening, 30% of people have this and most never even know it”. No medication or anything. Well I feel it! Severely. I was the one who had to ask for referral to EP. I don’t believe my heart rate is any higher than what it has been for last five years. Was at PCP other day and it was normal. Only time it was high was when I took steroids and ended up in ER.
