To all that have helped me I say a big thank you for all your help!!!
If interested pleas reference "Told I need a pacemaker" posting
I have just returned from a specialist in arrhythmias and he reviewed my file and determined that I do not need a pacemaker..although the future may bring differern circumstances but not now. He said due to my heightened vagal tone and active lifestyle I am seeing dropped beats at night. The vagal tone he said is more active at night that is why my holter shows the delays only at night. I show no symptoms and he sees no concern. My cardiologist thought I needed one!!?

TO cathyrn and smitty especially!!! Who suggested I needed to see an EP and/or seek a second opinion I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!! IF it weren't for you stories/responses I would have a pacemaker right now and for no reason.

The moral of the story..seek a specialists opinion,ask a lot of questions, and go with your gut if you dont feel right about a dignoses and/or doctor.

You guys are all amazing people and this site is also.

THANKYOU!!
