reassurance for arvd cardiomyopathy? screening?.

hello group,

im a new member here and was hoping to have some feedback and other opinions on this.

i have a crooked fear at the minute in regards to the cardiomyopathy disease ARVD.
now i have had this at times before, and have been told by the E.P that checked me over that i didn't have any signs of it, and everything came out normal, test wise. That was 2 years ago now. i was only doing (what i can now call) moderate weight lifting, not full blown 3 hour per week cardio for professional boxing! in the meantime since that check up, i have been to a and e a few times and had numerous ecg's due to certain pains or symptoms i've had. nothing looks to have changed on them, no enlargement even seen yet, considering the 4 months of cardio ive been doing!

does anybody have any insight on arvd? am i pointlessly worrying myself into a deep depression? every time i finish cardio now i tend to be 'off key' with worrying for the whole night. i sit quiet and fearful.

the reasons behind my constant worrying are post exercise lightheadness, and reading the story of cricketer james taylor last year, how it sprung out of no where for him after prior ecg's being clean.
