Im experiencing this now and i went to emergency and did an ECG but was sent home after drips and diagnosed as Sinus Tachycardia.

How old are you btw? Any other symptoms with it?

Insufficient investigation.

You need to undergo Holter. ECG only able to capture whatever you experiencing at the moment. But holter on the other hand will record your hearbeat for 24H for detailed rhythm.

I will add stress test as my list of investigation as well for more established diagnosis.

This thing is up all day every day making me so stressed and losing lots of sleep.
Btw what do you suspect it is? I have asked 2 GPs and both of them said skipping beats are actually normal and happens frequently in others as well.

Haih so stressed. Thanks by the way.

GP for NCD cases, touch and go cases ok la. But for vital issue like this, you wanna bet your life?

The best and most practical option for you to settle this once and for all is by walking in to IJN. They recently open up a private wing (clinic) for walk in patient (but need to call to check for the cardiologist availability first).

Just with one appointment (in some cases, need more than one to arrange for subsequent investigation), you will have a definitive diagnosis by cardiologist.

For me, your kind of case what makes it difficult to follow up is the waiting time. Even under normal private hospital, it will not be walk in basis.

Good for us, IJN sorted this issue.
