Heart Rhythm Conditions – Welcome to the group

Hello @miamom,

Welcome to Connect. You may notice that I moved your discussion into the Heart Rhythm group. I did this as I thought it would be beneficial for you to be introduced to the many members who have discussed much of what you are experiencing.
If you are replying by email, I suggest clicking on VIEW & REPLY so that you can read through some of the earlier messages and meet some of our other members talking about their or their loved ones' experiences.

I can imagine how worrying your symptoms must be! Here's some information about palpitations, when to see a doctor, etc. from Mayo Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-palpitations/symptoms-causes/syc-20373196

If the Holter monitor didn't pick up any irregular beats or if the events occur less than once weekly, your doctor might recommend an event recorder.
The device records your heartbeat so that your doctor can assess the heart rhythm when you have symptoms. You might wear an event recorder for several weeks. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-palpitations/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20373201

@miamom, while we wait for other members to join in, could you share a bit more about your symptoms? Do you notice any triggers? Do you have any accompanying discomfort, dizziness, or feeling faint? I'd sincerely encourage you to keep talking and asking questions.

Hello @miamom,

I am so happy that you posted here on Connect. I am Teresa, a volunteer mentor, and I've also had some heart problems both with heart rate, and valve issues so I do understand how uncertainty about a diagnosis can make everything worse! I applaud you for seeking out information - here at Connect we encourage everyone to be their own advocate for good health care. We also encourage second opinions when needed.

How far do you live from a larger medical facility? Is it within reason to drive so that you can put your mind at ease regarding this?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Teresa

Welcome aboard. If you don't mind me asking-being snoopy-what work up have you had beyond the two day event monitor? Next questions are you scheduled with a cardiologist? Or perhaps you were. On this site you will find many different heart events happening and so many wonderful people sharing and offering encouragement. Me, personally, I was dealing with bradycardia which required a pacemaker. I am not a coffee person so I can't say that was my trigger. I had 6 second pauses register on a 30 day event monitor that required more investigating. I have a strong heart just not a consistent normal sinus rhythm but then I was found to have junctional node rhythm decades ago that didn't represent itself to be a serious concern-now I am not so sure. But then the PM has been an important component for me. Here's to hoping the "mystery" gets resolved for you.
