In the emergency room I was given CPR, compressions, incubated afterwards...I know I should have asked the Doctors while I was there..., but does that mean I stopped breathing (only) or did my heart stop? I m having palpitations, skipped beats in my case. It happens two times per minute all day it seems, after each episode my heart thumps. I feel dizzy when I get out of the car or up from sitting. Four years ago I had a heart procedure; Catheter Ablation my heart was racing- 188 beats per minute. My cardiologist still hasn t scheduled any tests...I definitely will get another cardiologist, but I m going on vacation for 8 weeks and I m worried that it may not be something I should put off...
