So I sent in my event Monitior my Dr gave me because I was having palpations. I didn't get results back yet but I did see I had junction rhythm. Has anyone had that before? Because now I'm looking stuff up and im scarred.

Pk,

I'm unfamiliar with junction rhythm, but definitely don't look anything up. You're just going to scare yourself.

I jokingly Tweeted something to the effect of:
"I wonder what WebMD says about Taco Bells withdrawals.

I'll be dead in an hour if I don't get some?"

Goggling symptoms is frowned upon in the medical profession for sure.

I have had to wear one for 24 hours because of palps, that would come and go quit often. The monitors results picked up many many pvc's but I was told I'm normal.

PK,

I agree...please do not search this...no one has ever felt better after googling symptoms!

What you need to do is consider that all is well and wait for the final word from your doctor.

It is likely nothing to be concerned about, so keep postive...and let us know what you hear regarding your results, so we can celebrate your good new with you.:)

Hi

I can relate to how you are feeling as I am waiting to hear back about some blood tests and won't find out the results until next week.

As the other have mentioned try not to google your symptoms as it will only make things worse but I understand how strong the pull is of Dr Google but best avoided.

Keep us posted.

Hibee that's the worst, I remember I've been called late Friday afternoon to be told I needed to come in to discuss my results. It would usually result in me panicking over the weekend...

Kitt you're gonna be ok, stay away from Dr. Google. Wait for him to tell you :)

Wait so my freed I work with I told her today I didn't feel well I said can you take my Bp it was 144/84 I was so upset bc it's never that high. So she did an ekg at the end of the day. It came back saying left atrial enlargement and then second ekg came out with septial infraction. Omg I was so scared bc that means heart attack. I have terrible anxiety right now. I told her tomorrow she had to re do it to make sure it was nothing. I'm so upset.

PK,

Deep breaths...

Unless your friend is a cardiologist, try not to get ahead of yourself.

I am guessing she is a nurse, or technician?

At times of acute anxiety/panic a false reading can occur on an EKG I have heard.

Didn't you just recently have a clean EKG? Also, did you get the breakdown of your Holter yet?

If you can't get calm tonight, I would go ahead and say go to the ER for peace of mind...or at the very least, see if you can get a doctor to administer, and read another EKG tomorrow.

Please let us know how you are soon, okay?

SC,

Thank you all she re did it in the morning I stayed nice and calm and came back normal ekg. I figured if it was a silent heart attack it would show up all the time. I did have the accelerated junctional rhythm that I know is true. I feel better and I can't wait till Dr reads my results.

PK,

Good news! You must feel much better now.;)

I hope you get your other results soon...keep us posted!
