Patient: I was diagnosed by EKG with first degree heart block, but when I look at the symptoms, I think that I have many symptoms of second degree mobitz II heart block.  I have been having unexplained tiredness and episodes of unexplained light-headedness.  Also I get episodes of feeling my heart beating funn in my throat and chest.  It beats consistantly and then skips and then continues and skips again. Doctor: sir ...please see this ..in heart block when the compensatiory beat comes after blocked beat it is forceful and felt as heart beat or pulsation in throat ..donot assume by symptoms ..diagnosis  whether it is first degree or second degree is confirmed by ECG
