I have worn a holter monitor before. I have had 2 treadmill ultrasound tests. Lots of EKGs, etc. The weird thing is day before yesterday I said to my husband that my palpitations were doing much better. Although I haven't felt great this week. Shakiness and vision a little off. Then this new long one happened. If it would have been one of the premature beats-I wouldn't think much of it.

The doc thing. Yes a year and a half ago-he was a heart guy. Good? How do you know? I always question that one. How do you ever know when to let it go and trust what they say? They all seem cold and matter of fact. Just a statistic. I have 2 little girls I want to be here for.

I guess I've grown up watching to many tv shows where people grab their hearts and keel over dead.

All I know is that it is new to me since 2000. I just can't afford to pay deductibles to keep rechecking. But I would-if I really need to.

I'm not a hypochondriac. Just worried.
