I have a diagnosis.
My heart's pacemaker isn't working the way it should. It's throwing up extra beats, which was picked up by the 24 hour tape. So, they're going to run an ultrasound to see how my heart's doing structurally, then run another 24 hour tape during which time I'll have to induce an episode, and then they'll decide whether it can be managed by drugs, or whether I'll need a pacemaker.
My cardiology consultant is hopeful that it's not going to come to that, but I'm not feeling too pleased right now. I went in, fully expecting to be told that it's all in my head or, at most, that's stress-induced. I wasn't expecting an actual physical, you know, thing. So, not in the greatest mood right about now.
