I ' m sure you will love it ! Have fun on the trip back home <| sep |> Again you didn ' t read the article . <| sep |> That ' s what I got out of it . <| sep |> great help , thank you . cant understand , why i did not think of this myself <| sep |> I ' m kind of in the same boat except that I finally found an answer after so many years . It started early in my teenage years but , every doctors I saw told me it was anxiety . One stupid doctor even asked me if I was hearing voices . I ' ve taken Paxil for a long time too . Then , in April , I saw a doctor for a totally unrelated symptom blood in urine caused by kidney stone . She used her stethoscope to listen to my heart and she heard a big murmur so she did what she could to get me to consult a cardiologist ASAP . The cardiologist saw nothing wrong on the ECG but since the murmur was still there , he did an echo cardiogram and he found the culprit . I had a mitral valve prolapse with massive regurgitation and I needed surgery to repair it . I was born with that default but it got worse as I grew older . I had to wait 6 months for the surgery . That ' s what you get in Quebec with publicly subsidized healthcare . You don ' t have to get in debt for treatment but , sometimes it can be long . Anyway , on October 26 th I finally got the surgery and now , I ' m at home recovering from it . It ' s not like a magic wand , I need to exercise to make sure my heart get strong again and I ' m slowly gaining energy everyday . But the greatest news is that those alarming palpitations are gone and I don ' t feel as tired as I did everyday . Waiting for a heart surgery was a big source of anxiety but it wasn ' t that bad after all . They were able to do it via heartport access . Which means , they didn ' t have to cut through my sternum so I don ' t have any broken bone . They simply used a camera and inserted it between my ribs on my right side . It still is an open heart surgery but it ' s less invasive . In your case , maybe you could get a Holter too , it ' s a device which you wear like a cellphone for 2448 hours . It will record continuously the electrical activity of your heart while you ' re doing your normal daily chores . Then , they analyze afterward and look for anomalies
