Arrhythmia?

Hi all,

I don't know where to start from, please be patient with me, thank you.

This year I was diagnosed with hypertension and I'm taking medicines (Amlodipine and Ramipril). End of June this year, one evening I couldn't breath so called 999 and initial ECG showed T-Inversion, I was taken to A & E, at the end doctors ruled out a heart attack but referred me to cardiology clinic. I had another episode early July and A & E doctors said it could be unstable angina and prescribed me GTN spray that helped on all hospital trips.

Cardiologist called me and I was referred to Echo and CT scan, they all came back normal so cardiologist ruled out coronary heart decease but at the same time, prescribed me Bisoprolol, Statins and Aspirin.

Well, I had another episode early November after few quiet months and this time doctors in A & E said it might be artery spasms or vasospasm angina, but again no confirmation from cardiologist and I was told my GP has to refer me or talk to cardiology clinic and the consultant would not call me back because I was referred.

To help me, my GP requested a halter ECG monitor for 24 hours, which I have the device on me now, it was put on this morning for 24 hours. I was told today at clinic that you might not have arrhythmia neither, we'll see later, but I told the clinic, either way, I know something is wrong, I can feel it and I don't know what else to do. I was told I would need to speak to my GP again if nothing is detected e.g. arrhythmia.

I am worried, not afraid but I want to find out what is wrong. Could you kindly from your experience, what you have been through, what were your symptoms and if ruling out heart decease, what I would need to chase to find out. Thanks again.

Sorry for giving you headache, stay safe.
