What Causes Borderline Arrhythmia?
Hi Doctor. My name is Anita. I went to my doctor because I have a strange sharp pain in my chest. I had an ECG done and the doctor sais I was 2% over the normal heart rate. Borderline arrhythmia. I have to wait to go to hospital for further test. I am so frightened as the doctor told me that the condition could make my heart stop at ant time. I have no chest pain or pulpertations. I do not feel sick or dizzy. I do not smoke..never smoked and I do not drink alcohol. I thought I was fit. I am so upset. Can the ECG be wrong. I had the ECG done at my doctors by the nurse. Please can you help me understand what this condition is. Anita
