svt

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.

WHat did you think of the tour? I am having and echo csrdiagram done on Monday. Wanting ot make sure I dont have anything else going on. I am scared to death that I am going to die....I am trying to stay positive though. I am getting it done next Thursday. You will be the first person I email and let you know how it goes. I am 49. How old are you

 

Well I am an old crow...61. the tour was okay. Showed us where I will be laying and all the monitors. Then there is a glassed room where all the computer stuff is. I meat some of the staff like the arrhymya specialist. Sorry for the spelling.

You know, they all act like it is no big deal. It's like in your own profession you know it so well it comes second nature (by the way I work in a funeral home. Haha) you can private message me any time

Do you know what kind of svt you have?

my cardioligist also does ablations but I hope I don't have to have one done

Hi Jen,

Good luck with your echo tomorrow. Everything will be just fine.

I will be thinking about you on Thursday. My friends husband had his ablation last Thursday. Actually we have same doctor.. he's good to go. Very successful. Just like yours and mine.

Please let me know. You can private message me any time

Hugs

Ellen

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.

Good to hear. Keep me posted. I think the moderator possibly a email address you quoted or something. Maybe go through private messages.. just think....2 more sleeps and you will be new and approved.

Well Jen, how did it go?

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!!!

 

Please do not worry. You will feel wonderful afterwards.

 

Oh Jen, I am so happy for you. I will check in after mine. I thought so much about you last Thursday.Positive vibs

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
