But... and my wife is sitting right next to me, telling me this... _do_ tell your doctor, and see her again if she requests that you do so. The evaluation she made of your condition is based a summary of all the information she had on you. But without knowledge of your irregular heartbeat, her conclusions may be wrong or incomplete.
