I have been having heart skipping problems-I thought due to not enough calories during the day-got that straight and then went to the doctor and he put me on a heart monitor for 24 hours-it showed no heart arrythmias-so I have to go back thursday so he can adjust my heart medication-which I am hoping he is going to cut back-I have been on the same amount of medicine since before my surgery 72 lbs heavier-the nurse that called me said that will probably cut me back-since the medicine is for a fast heart rate-I will let you all know thursday for sure-let's pray for a cutback on the medicine!!

 I had to wear a monitor  a few years ago, couldn't find anything, so they placed one for a MONTH. That was such a blast, not.. I had to try and push the button while cleaning teeth... 
But they found that i was born with a condition called Mitral valve prolapse.  A little heart meds and now doing well. I would skip beats, pass out, feel light headed and all.. Now much better, why after all the years of living with it, it comes about... My Surgeon said it could have been the extra weight on my heart.. no telling.. since surgery haven't had a problem other then one time at the gym i passed out from doing circuit training... 
I hope they find out what is wrong with your ticker.
