Looking for answers on ecg results
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi ive posted in a few other groups but havent gotten any responses and this one seams more active.
I had a 24hr ecg 2 weeks ago and just got the results back from my doctor on friday, though he didnt explain anything. He said something about medication but since i had said i felt a bit better the last week (only because ive been resting lots and havent been doing the things i would normally do) i have to not rest this weekend and go back in on monday if ive had mt symptoms come back. I did what he said and now he is saying take it easy and come back wednesday and maybe meds then. He is driving me crazy as he wont really tell me whats wrong. I asked if the results were normal and he said no my heart beats fast at times and also abnormal at times, but thats all he would tell me.
Symptoms include hot and cold sweats, extremely dizzy, high heart rate (150ish), very tired, short of breath and at times gasbing for air (day and night).
Since my doctor didnt explain anything im hoping someone on here can help me understand what my result mean.
Ventricular Ectopy (VE): 15
SuperVentricular Ectopy (SVE): 118
SVE RUN: 7
ST Elevation: 9
ST Depression: 8
Average HR: 92
Max HR: 158
Min HR: 58
Tachycardia: 472
Min RR: 203
Max RR: 6109
Everything else is 0. I just have no clue what this means and im a bit worried since there was talk of medication and my doctor didnt tell me anything.
So im just looking for some info as i feel like im not getting anything from my doctor at all. Oh and im also 31 weeks pregnant if that changes anything lol. Im worried that im a danger to myself, my kids, my unborn baby and even the people around me esspecially if i was to be driving.
Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated

Ventricular Ectopic beats, Here are some of the triggers :-
A normal benign finding
Anxiety
Drugs and stimulants e.g. alcohol, excessive smoking
Ventricular hypertrophy
Electrolyte disorders
Generally ectopic beats are nothing to worry about, and as anxiety can cause them, certainly dont be anxious about them,
Go on youtube and search :- dr sanjay gupta york cardiology
You will note "electrolyte disorders". My Ventricular ectopics did get worst and join together into permanent runs called Ventricular Tachycardia, but this will be unlikely, but to stop these runs in hospital, they would connect me to drips with potassium and maybe the other one beginning with M? So maybe you need to eat a few more bananas?
Now I am no doctor, but the medicine your doctor might proscribe will probably be a beta blocker.
A few forums you might like to read here are, " Autonomic Dysfunction", " beta-blockers" and " Bisoprolol" before taking these drugs unless you absolutely have to.
