Does anyone know about heart arrhythmia?

I have just spent ages on the phone trying to speak to someone about this and the best I could get was non medical who works on cardio . On a waiting list for an appointment.

So , ds2 ( adult age 22 has Aspergers and i do all his phone calls for him ) has a diagnosis of absence seizures aswell . He saw a new doc a few years ago who tried to induce an absence attack and couldn’t . Said that was a bit strange and had he ever had his heart checked ( he hadn’t) anyway it was left at that . Fast forward to last September ..

Ds blacked out . Defo wasn’t his absences . He went light headed first and apparently had been going lightheaded when standing for ages , just never told me . Also gets headache with exercise .

Was sent for a 5 day heart monitor .

Results just came , months later , I am worried with no doctor to ask !

This is what it says :

Sorry if the pic is rubbish . It says the test showed sinus arrhythmia , occasional VE’s and diurnal tachycardia.

I can't give any expert interpretation but it doesn't look too worrying. If it was anything serious they would be on the phone.
VEs are ectopic beats, very, very common and harmless. I think diurnal tachycardia is a kind of SVT, again quite common and treatable.
Try not to worry, I would ring next week and ask when he will be seen to discuss.
