    Hi Anita,

    There is nothing to worry about, I had my ablation last November without any sedative, the first one they have done in Brighton without.

    Next Friday is hopefully my final checkup that all is well.

    Good luck with yours and try not to worry.

    Ken.

    Hello Anita. I can add very little to what others have said here.

    I had my ablation about 3 years ago and went from having about six SVT episodes a day to zero since the ablation.

    The surgical team told me I had an usually difficult ablation procedure because I am very resistant to seditives etc., but the procedure was still less stressful and unpleasant than just one SVT episode. 

    The ablation has transformed my life, dont't tink twice about getting it done!

    Best of luck,

    It's helping me a little reading your experiences. I'm 19 years old and was diagnosed with SVT last year with a sudden out burst of 180-200bpm for 14 hours straight in hospital before they injected me with something to restart my heart. I haven't had an attack since but I do get palpitations every day 3-10 times a day doesn't matter if I'm out shopping or at home sitting down they just happen. Some palpitations are stronger than others some hurt and triple beat, the doctors say that part seems like avrnt but there 95% sure I have SVT but not 100% until surgery. I'm worried about surgery! I'm on the waiting list and have been for 7 months now so should be any time soon, I really don't want a pacemaker as I know I'll have to have a scar and surgery all my life so they can re charge the pace maker. Will I feel pain in surgery as they want me awake? Would I die or live a shorter life if I chose not to go ahead with surgery? I don't know what to do but it is hard right now living with SVT I can't do things without SVT reminding me I have it with its horrible heart palpitations, out of breath a lot. Dizziness and I get a lot of headaches now

    Hi I am 30 years old and have suffered with SVT for almost 20 years. I would usually only have an episode or 2 a year but today I had my second episode in 3 months and both were more severe than usual with me having to call an ambulance. Since having my babies I find it has gotten worse and I think about it every day. I really want the surgery so I can know what it feels like to live a normal life as this really decreases my quality of life but I am terrified of the procedure. I have a baby and a 4 year old and the thought of something going wrong scares the life out of me. How bad will the procedure be?
