Am hoping someone medical/someone with experience of this can help me.
My mum has had palpitations on and off for a while (we put them down to her being on Arimidex after a mastectomy 4 years ago).
In January she had a really bad episode.
She had an ECG at the time which was normal. She then wore a 24 hour monitor for a day about a week ago. She hasn't had any palpitations for a few weeks, so she assumed it would all be fine.
Today she got an appointment through from hospital for a months time.
She got herself very upset thinking this means that something awful showed up on her tests.
However the letter reads like a routine appointment. But would the consultant see her if everything was OK? I suppose it was quite a bad episode so maybe even a normal result would require further testing (also she is 72 and a cancer survivor).
She is very stressed at the moment due to my DD awaiting testing for a neurological illness, so we all assumed the palpitations were down to stress.
It's a difficult time for everyone so I hoped that someone here could reassure us/explain things a little. She won't call the hospital to ask about it, as she is too scared.
TIA.
