My heart really goes out to those suffering Palpitations/AF/PAF/Ectopic beats. I had suffered with a heart condition that was never really diagnosed properly from the age of 13.
Every clinician I met told me to rub my eyelids, don't drink caffiene, don't stress out etc etc. No one believed I had real problem!
At the age of 19, I had a cardiologist say I had AF and he prescribed various different beta blockers until my face went red and I couldn't step out in daylight, not to mention the other problems these drugs cause in a young mans life.
I gave up asking for help until I found a cardiologist working out of Leicester. He referred me to a cardiologist whom he thought could actually help. It took a while for an appointment to come through but he actually offered me a diagnosis. What I suffered from was re-entrant tachycardia triggered by ectopic beats.
Within 2 years I had EP studies and ablation therapy. Cured the problem and I could get on with my life.
The biggest relief I must say was being taken seriously.
