Do you get any syncopal episodes--feeling faint and dizzy? I sure hope they find something concrete soon!

Yes - it is a trigger monitor..... I push a button and it records 45 seconds of what is happening at the moment, with 15 seconds of what the heart was doing before the incident and 15 seconds after the incident.
I get dizzy at times, but I have not fainted in years..... my main complaints are the chest pain / headaches that stay around most days and the palpitations / thumps that disturb my ability to get to sleep.
