I had a friend whose Husband had that, also I think the singer Meatloaf was diagnosed with that too. Did you get an official diagnosis of it?
Nope. Never did. I've had occasional heart flutters (or whatever they are officially called) since my senior year in high school. The first one actually happened in medical biology and scared me. Someone told me that they could be stress related so I just ignored them.
Fast-forward to sometime between 2001 and 2005. My date memory isn't too good. I had a bad day at work. I was having some heart fluttering. My chest was hurting. I had some shortness of breath. I go online to medical sites to diagnose my problem. Most of the sites naturally mentioned heart attack. To top it off my aunt was in the hospital at the time with a suspected heart attack. I went to the ER. As soon as I said the word heart attack they rushed me into a side room to take my blood pressure.
Now, keep in mind, that I spent my childhood in hospitals and doctors' offices with very bad asthma so my white coat syndrome has always been a little higher than that of other folks. My blood pressure is always kind of high in those settings even when it's normal at the house. This time, when the nurse saw my BP her eyes got huge, and she asked if I had always had blood pressure problems. My wife asked her if it was high. The nurse said it was VERY high, then ran from the room. This made my situation worse.
They wheeled me into a back room and did an ekg and a ton of other things. Finally, the doctor came in and asked if I had had a bad day at work. I told him that I had, and he told me that I was apparently suffering from an anxiety attack. He said everything looked fine but requested a chest x-ray to be sure that was okay too.
By the time I got to x-ray I had already calmed down. The nurse asked why I was being x-rayed and I told her that it was apparently because I was a hypochondriac. She looked puzzled so I explained how reading medical articles about what ailed me made matters worse. She said that she had the same problem and that her husband always gave her a hard time about it. Then she related a story about a problem that she had with her leg that her mind over-inflated after reading medical books on her symptoms. I then told her that after checking on some symptoms one time that I had almost become convinced that I had ovarian cancer. She admitted I won the "crazy" game.
Now flash-forward again to my doctor's visit with the heart flutters. He was basing the Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome diagnosis on the ekg that was done in the ER and the notes that the ER doc had made. He even showed me on the ekg what made them suspect Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome, but it just looked like squiggly lines to me. Up until this point nothing had ever been said to me about Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome.
I suppose one day I need to have it checked out, but I figure as long as the flutters are rare I'm sort of okay. The last flutter that I had was probably a couple of months ago. When I was drinking diet drinks I was have tons per day.
