Thanks for the reassurance @ddon and @Afraser - it sure is weird when it starts!! I had a great sleep last night & felt 100% earlier today - I've had a couple of skipped beats just now ... but not overly concerned about them & know that it can't kill me - with the worst thing causing a clot & maybe a stroke tho.
haha @ddon - I've had 3 ECGs already & it isn't showing on any of them! So just hope it does on the monitor - so it doesn't look like I am making it up! LOL I've always considered myself to be fairly bullet proof, so the BC diagnosis was a big hit to my self belief .... and probably why this sudden occurrence has also hit me for a 6!!
Fingers crossed I get some answers next week. I think I'd been kayaking on the same day as the initial occurrences - so may need a stress test too. Last one I had was 6 years ago when I had pericarditis (inflammation of the lining of the heart) which presented itself with massive chest pains - and I thought I WAS having a heart attack!! :( Angiogram showed arteries were clear back then tho.
