    Dear claire

    Sorry to here about your troubles.

    I have a very erratic heartbeat but it varies in its frequency.

    My oxygen levels have been measured as ok but I do feel more faint than dizzy when the arrythmias occur.

    I have been told that the structure of my heart is ok as have many on this forum and theres probably not alot can be done to stop these erratic beats ... we just have to live with them

    Hope things work out for you

    Stay positive

      That is good to hear thank you.. I have never had any problems of this sort before .. so was naturally a bit worried.. will stay calm til the ecg is done..

      Thanks smile

    Did you ever get answers by erractic does it mean it's like 66 then 110 within seconds ? I'm really scared my heart won't stop jumping from one extreme to another one minute it's 66 the next it's 179 !
