A Brugada Syndrome story

Hi everyone I suffered with palpitations for many years on and off and as I was in my 40's thought it was normal. Few chest pains came and one day last year I had a high fever and was admitted and brugada was shown on an ECG. The brugada sign only shows on the ECG when I have a fever. I had an ajmaline challange in may 2015 when brugada was confirmed. I have a reveal moniter fitted to record any unusual beats. Dr says I'm not high risk so do not need icd fitted yet. Until I have a cardiac arrest they don't think it's necessary but leaves me feeling like a time bomb. I've had bloods taken to have genetic testing as I have two children.
