I have had episodes of palpatations for years off & on ( I have long QT Syndrome ) but for the last 11months I have regular nights of palpatations which wake me up. I have left shoulder & into the ear & arm pain, back pain & nausia. The shoulder,arm, back pain & nausia,I can have without the palpatations. l also have adbo pain & reflux at times. A gastroscopy showed a hiatus hernia. I have CAD 25% LMS angiogram 2005. Do I take these symptoms seriously as visits to hospital over the years find nothing!
