First thanks for the replies As for the passing out - I meant they (the doctors) said to come in again if it
got really worse or I started passing out.
Don’t want to wait til I pass out. sheesh. I’m just concerned since heart
disease runs rampant in my family (dad and brother
probably both had it by 35). I’m also significantly overweight which doesn’t
help.
Anyway they’ve done an echo, holter and an event monitor. Which they say is
normal. (which is good).. but sometimes when it
skips it feels like it isn’t going to start again… or it’ll keep skipping
around til I stop what I’m doing or change
positions (of course these are occasional and never occured while on the holter
or event monitor. sigh) - anyway these are the
type that are scary not necessarily the occasional one or two skips.
The events are random and sometimes I’ll go a week (if I’m lucky two) with only

minor stuff then it will suddenly freak out on
me. Cutting caffeine helped tremendously but it still goes on. sigh.
Personally, I think this started after having years
of gallbladder attacks and finally getting it surgically removed. I think it
took its toll. (The gallbladder attacks
manifested in the middle of chest (more to the back).)
Of course now after having my gallbladder out my albumin/globulin ratio is
whacked out (indicating malnutrition or chronic
disease) but at the last point before going abnormal (so they won’t look at it
further) my RDW is out of normal range (but
they ignore that)… argh I hate doctors sometimes.
sigh.
phooey.
Crystal.
