I believe that this website is UK based. I stumbled upon it. I have been having strange whirling/chugging sensation going on for two years. I live in the Deep South in the US. I went to many MDs to rule out other non cardiac issues but realized it was coming from my chest area. Every test was completely normal.EKG, Sonagram, stress test. I told the MDs that something was wrong and was blown off. I saw my dads heart surgeon and he would not even run any other tests and sent me to a Dysautonomia clinic which took two minutes for the physician to rule out. I went in to a cardiologist here in a small beach town in Alabama and begged him to trust me that something was wrong. He ran a holter monitor for 24 hours mind you I had already done a 30 day monitor that showed nothing. The 24 hour monitor showed A Fib, skipped heartbeats, tachycardia and other arrhythmias. Finally I was proven right. I went back to the renowned cardiologist that originally blew me off and had an ablation. I have had no relief----still a constant whirling and chugging ---never , ever stopping--NEVER A BREAK. I am at my wits end and desperate. My life has been completley ruined. Has anyone ever been through this please. Please let me there from you---JDH, Alabama US---thanks

    I think only person who can help is a cardiologist , I have read from people that ablations not very successful . Have you been on beta blockers ? That UK site is quite helpful and has a lot of videos and I think the cardiologist said people could email him, maybe worth a shot . Very stressful and that makes it worse . Maybe you need another cardiologist to give an opinion or go to emergency ?
