    I have SVT as well. Scheduled to go in for an ablation on the 16th of this month. I encourage you to see an electrophysiologists cardioligist.

      Hi Jen, I am also going for an ablation June 22. It was originally may 31 but when I got there they had to cancel.

      So how anxious are you about it?

      I am really nervous. I am in good hands though. My Doctor is one of the best ones in Seattle. Where are you getting yours done? When you would have an episode did they give you adensine ( spelling) ?

      Jen

      I have only had 2 episodes that were in Feb. both times they stopped on there own

      .iwent on bisoprolol but could not stand it. To many side effects. That is why I have opted for the ablation. I am having it done in Toronto Canada. When I went may 31, I was a wreck. I also have anxiety. Before I left they took my husband and myself for a tour of the cath lab hoping that might help him. Well not copy.

      HI Ellen,

      Thank you so much for your concern. It warms my heart. I just got back from my echo. I feel confidentr that nothing else is wrong. She said if anything was wrong she would not have let me leave the hospital. I am feeeling a little better right now. This weekend I was a wreck. If it were not for my husband being there to help me thru this I would be a bigger wreck. I will reach out to you after my surgery.

      OMG...I feel fabulous!!! I was not in one ounce of pain. Even where they insserted the cathather in my groin area. They were able to detect the extra impulse right away. I was in surgery like 1 hour and 15 minutes. I left the same day. No pain killers or anyhting. I was at hte mall on Sat and I am at work today. I feel like I have a second lese on life! PLEASE do not be afraid to have it done. If you weere advised to do it, DO IT!!! I never realized how much anxiety I really had until now. I feel none!!!

      Sorry I was not able to contact you sooner. You will do greta my friend. I was so scared and if they told me I needed another I would not be upset. Mine was pretty obvious so I feel, and so does my Doctor that it will not be a problem again. I am praying and keeping good thoughts for you my dear friend. You will do awesome!!! What state are in again?

      Hi Jen,

      Just wanted to let you know I am back from hospital

      Unsuccessful.......he could not find the area. He thought possibly because of the medication for anxiety I am taking.

      So disappointing. Had a meltdown on the way home

      Hope all is well with you
