About 2 years ago I was grounded due to an adnormal ECG. It turns out I had Cardiomyopathy that was resulting in LBBB. Treatment involved rest and drugs. After about a year my heart had returned to its normal size so I applied to the CAA for a review of my status.
After having a 24 hour holter the CAA become worried enough to contact my consultant and I was admitted to hospital with broad complex tachycardia. Then I was transfered to St. Thomas' in London where EP studies (wires into heart via groin) were carried out, some abilation was also done.
In February I had further tests at the CAA and I have now got intermittant LBBB and also now have ectopic heart beats(the odd extra beat) so my case is going to the cardiology comittee at the CAA in June.
I have the backing of 2 consultants, my ame and my GP but the CAA can't make their minds up.
All through this time I have been free from any symtoms.
So don't give up and good luck.
