Many Brugada mimics: Brugada is a genetic disease involving a normal heart structure but with an abnormal EKG, with increased risk of sudden death. The syndrome is characterized by the Brugada EKG sign, WITH syndope or seizures, and a structurally normal heart. Mimics of Brugada are many, inc. pericarditis and various drug reactions. If two reputatable cardiologist have said no Brugada, don't worry.
