Eptopic pulse

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi. I was at Drs last week and she just by chance checked my pulse,

She asked if I ever felt light headed or palpitations, then booked me for an ecg. 

I had ecg yesterday, nurse just said I have eptopic heartbeat?

And if dr needs to see me she’ll ring.  

Anyone else had this? 

Thanks all 🤔

    People have them but don’t notice them. Unfortunately I notice mine. Every one of them! They are not life threatening g. Consultants words not mine. They are a nuisance if you feel them. I’ve tried several heart arythmia tablets and even had to have a Heart ablation. Eventually they have been controlled somewhat by medication.
