Hi Im andrew 24 from essex uk, I basically just want to rule this out,I have had this thig for about 11 years where i can be just walking in the street and sudently i feel my heart start paceing and tho my breathing is normall,my stomac feels like when you fall,and i get slightly dizzy,I get this strong sence of dejavou like eberything im seing ive seen before,i think my memory is slightly worse after too, tho my memory is bad anyway lol,It only lats something like 15-20 secounds and happens around 3-4 times a year which isnt much i mean i could put up with it,but just dont want it to go on to anything more serious if it is this. I went to the docotrs about it about 5 years ago he just put a heart monitor on me for a day nothing showed up and that was that.if he does send me for a brain scan should i wait til it happens again or will it just show up as my last one was two months ago. Many thanks for reading this Andrew
