masterclinic answered Sunday April 15 2012, 9:45 pm: Your questions a little confusing but I think I have the idea. You were feeling sick so you got some scans and tests done that resulted in an arrhythmia diagnoses? Arrhythmia is basically a irregular heart beat which can be caused by many things; you having one isn't the bad thing, that would be the cause (some are fixable, others you have to live with). So until your doctor has found the reason for your heart condition there's no reason to worry. A good friend of mine had two episodes where he got dizzy and completly pass out because of is heart, but they only happened those two times in high school, he's been fine since.
Try not to worry and in the mean time you may be able to help your doctor by trying to find out what caused it yourself. Maybe you were stressed out, skipped a meal, anything that you do before you get dizzy and lose your hearing [ masterclinic's advice column | Ask masterclinic A Question ]
