I saw my heart!
Recently, I had an echocardiogram done to check what was causing my ectopic heartbeats.
So I was lying there on my side, while the technician was “scanning” my chest and I could see the reflection of the monitor screen on the wall (there was some white plastic cover across the wall, not sure what was the exact function of it but I could see the screen quite clearly).
And I could see my heart working! Gosh, it’s quite amazing! I could see it beating (while feeling it at the same time), and I could see when the ectopic beats occured. I guess that’s the similar feeling that parents-to-be feel when they see an ultrasound of their kid in the mom’s womb.
Anyway, my heart is structurally fine (i.e. mechanically, it is sound). It’s just that it’s electrical wiring may be a bit off, which is what’s causing the ectopic beats. Unfortunately, the cardiologist can’t determine WHAT is the cause of it, could be one of those things that just happens.
Since it’s not incapacitating me when it occurs (about a few times throughout the day), I just have to live with it and monitor it. It feels uncomfortable when it comes on, but it doesn’t stop me from doing what I’m doing.
Sigh… I guess it’s just one of those things.
But it was soooooo cool watching my heart work!!! 
I shall let my family and friends tell you about me. These comments may be rather old but I think the gist of them still hold
