Thanks. Seems that's one of my best available options right now. Strange though, why a person has to prove they have a fast irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) to a machine, so there's official record of it. Didn't we used to be able to tell our doctors what was going on, and they believed us, then acted accordingly with diagnosis and treatment? Or at least, put a finger on my pulse, and confirm it for yourself! But now everything (here anyway) is "doctor by numbers". You present with a complaint/symptom, and they have to go through a certain process. It's very rigid, and not often the best for the patient. I've been trying to show my arrhythmia for almost a year now, and either the equipment isn't available, or when I get hooked up, I have a rare moment of normal rhythm. "Nothing to see, sorry, try again later!" I've gone 14 months with this now. They say you have 3 to 5 years once myocarditis makes itself known, assuming you get proper care for it, and more than 1 of those has already passed. I guess I'll just cross my fingers and hope for luck... and that I don't have to move halfway through the process and start all over in a new town!
