i'm under Lam also. ur post reminded me to follow up on my paroxysmal Afib in aug lol. also had palpitations few yrs before getting Afib. did u do stress echocardiography? possibly palpitation can leads to PAF
Nope..just threadmill, and simple EKG. He did not see any abnormal issues with my heart valves.
To make me feel more assured, since I persisted, he just did the
cardiac troponin test, which was OK.
cardiac event monitor, where I took 1 week data of sleep, exercises, where i carried the recorder around. ( he did not see anything abnormal, just some heart rhythm when I sleep, he believe not something to worry about ).
the only pointing factor for me....was my thyroid, was actually near hyper, and til today...it is the only factor that points to my concern. Also, my lack of stamina for my age (which i lack exercises).
Pretty much detail when he explains...and he isn't very like against if I wanted some test to be done (although had an annoyed face), eventhough he knows from his experience there isn't anything he suspect from the data.
Note: There are alot of perhaps better consultants out there...but i just got his info from alot of aunties/uncles that got recommended him.
