After three years of having A fibrillation it has finally been recorded after i ended up in hospital during an episode that lasted four hours with my heart beating at 230.
i had been back to the doctors two days before this happened to tell them i have recorded a fib on my Kardia that i had just purchased but the doctor says she has never heard of a Kardia so she won’t be taking notes from that and she will do an ecg.
i told her there is no point in doing a 30 second ecg when I’m not in a fib.
This all happened 7 weeks ago the hospital referred me to a cardiologist but I haven’t heard anything from them.
im worried that it’s damaged my heart I go into a fib every few weeks, when it started years ago it was lasting a few minutes now it last between 40 mins to a few hours at a time.
My mum had a heart attack at 46 and I’m that age so I wondered if I have an underlying problem.
i was pleased it had been caught on the ecg at hospital and it validates what I was feeling for yrs and not peri menopause that the doctors kept saying it was.
Has anyone had any experience with this please x
