Shall i go hospital :(

[carli]

Hi all, been getting skipped heartbeats since july, dr confirmed them by 24hr heart test :( ive been refered to a cardiolgist who did a ecg and said it was ok, however he is asking that i have a ultrasound of my heart and a 72hr heart monitor :(


Anyway i have been having them really bad today like every 5 beats or so it skips a beat :(

Shall i go hospital? im so scared can anyone help? xxx

The best thing you can do is call your out of hours doctor and/or NHS direct and ask them. They can advise based on asking you further questions

Hi

Nicola is correct.

Give either NHS 24/Direct a call (depending on where you live). They will at least put your mind at ease.

hiya, my names joanne, listen they sound like ectopic heartbeats like i have and they are benign and harmless, i had a bad week with them once but had all the tests and they say healthy people with a healthy heart get them, so dont worry you will be fine, let me know how you get on x:winks:
