heart plauses

I've been to the Heart Doctors a lot lately with many tests, it seem that my heart stops for 2 to 2.04 seconds, I think only at night  ( I pasted out at work once)
I go to the gym, and I run & bike
now I have to wear another montior for 21 days, I just had a electrophysiology study, no pace maker needed
so I guess I'm ok, I have a right leakie value but they said thats ok.
should I be worried? am I ok?
can I still hard and race?
Thank you
Pat

Hold on with the running for now until the work up is finished.  the fact that the ep study was normal is reassuring but your workup needs to be completed.  Depending on your age you could have high vagal tone which could explain these pauses and the syncope.  I think you will do well.
