jfish1936 Â Â 10 #14 Posted June 4, 2015 You don't say how old you are. As an 18 yr old, I competed in cycle races, including hill climbs, some on the Winnats pass. My heart beat became irregular, but I didn't do anything clever about it. I'm now 79, take beta-blockers, and have a pacemaker-defibrillator; installing that did not upset me greatly. The condition appears to be familial, as several of our family have it; we are in a genetic study to see if a causative gene can be identified Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
willman   10 #15 Posted June 4, 2015 I have been diagnosed with AF, if the nurse hadn't spotted it on my annual healthcheck i would never have known. I have had the ACG followed 24hour check done by the hospital and saw a consultant on Christmas Eve 2014.  I still have no symptoms and haven't had any to date - in 2013 i had an ecg which showed nothing wrong.

Jane123 Â Â 10 #16 Posted June 4, 2015 I was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat 23 years ago (supraventricular tachycardia). I had various tests at that time, was monitored for a couple of years and then discharged. I occasionally feel my heart take an extra beat but other than that it isn't a problem.
