Hi Mymelody,

Thank you for the additional information. So, you are 5'3'' and weigh 209 lbs. You have a family history of cardiac issues on your mother's side.

Have you worn a Holter monitor, which records your heart activity over a set period of time? It sounds like it.

Are you under the care of a cardiologist? If you are not pleased with current treatment, please seek a second opinion, not online but in person.

"In addition to sick sinus syndrome, I want to bring your attention and I hope you can bring this up with a cardiologist, to Wollf-Parkinson-White syndrome.

In Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, an extra electrical pathway between your heart's upper chambers (atria) and lower chambers (ventricles) causes a rapid heartbeat (tachycardia).

The extra electrical pathway is present at birth and fairly rare. WPW is detected in about 4 out of every 100,000 people. People of all ages, including infants, can experience the symptoms related to Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Most people with symptoms first experience them between the ages of 11 and 50." Mayo Clinic

Regards,
Maryann
