Hi Radgirl!

Thanks for your answer! The AMC I went to is known to be quite strict.. I lately talked to a pilot who also suffers extrasystoles - for him it has never been a problem. He recommends not to drink any kind of caffeine at least three days prior to an ECG.. Wonder if this could be a cause?!
In my first ECG (which lasted about a minute I guess), I had 3 (or 4?) extrasystoles. As you said, I do not have any other symptoms and I am in perfect health. Moreover, the 24h holter revealed that I had "some monomorphic extrasystoles" meaning that all extrasystoles have the same origin and form (which is, as my family doctor told me, good). Next tuesday, I have an appointment with an electrophysiologist. I am curious what he will do..

Btw... Are you an AME?
