I was recently diagnosed with a Long Q Rhythm. I'm wondering if there is anyone else out there with this problem.
My Dr. recommends Beta Blocker and no more racing. He also commented that I've had this condition all my life so I'll probably be ok.
I would like to PM with anyone out there who is swimming with a similar situation. I am feeling very conflicted and would like to talk to someone in the same boat.
I read the paragraph about the sisters who swam in Nationals with a Long Q diagnosis, in fact that article motivated me to go to the electrophysicist (sp) and get this checked out by a specialist.
Great news :applaud: That first doctor sounds pretty awful. If you paid for an echocardiogram, you should be able to get the results. Period. And what kind of credible doctor won't get you genetic test results for something as potentially serious? So glad you're rid of him.
I'm sure it feels so much better to be moving forward (instead of standing still). I wish you all the best with all of your results!
