After spending another 2 days in hospital I am sitting writing this with my ticker carrying on like had just run a marathon. Have just taken my daily dose of drugs to make my head feel crap for the rest of the day. Bad news when I have to try to run my own home business, my only source of income.
I know the drugs are stopping my ticker from getting to dangerous levels otherwise I'd refuse them.
The one thing keeping me going - roll on the 4th dec ( my cryo date)
Only 5 days but who's counting.
Trying to remain focussed and positive.

Oh Brian, what a hassle this AF business is. Good luck for your cryo. Hope you can get some sleep tonight and your ticker gives you some peace. Night night. Dee.
Good luck Brian! Now 7 days post op and no problems so far!

I feel for you - I'm self-employed, and it's a huge worry. But the cryo isn't long and fingers crossed, that should really help a lot. Take care and good luck.

Ditto I'm self-employed (farmer), working by myself 95% of the time. Having to take things slow and easy, but at least I haven't anyone to answer to . Good luck with the op.
I have a friend who has had very many health problems involving pancreas, gallstones, IBS and both knee replacements. She has recently been diagnosed with AF. I thought her description of her condition was very apt. She said "It suddenly started and I have never felt so ill in all my life." She is now more sympathetic when I'm having problems!
I wish you a speedy return to normality and I hope that you're getting the sympathy and understanding that you deserve.
when my heart switches from normal rhythm to fast AF a few seconds when I think I am going to collapse, I don't but I feel awful, I think my blood pressure drops and I fear the worst. I have had tachycardia since having my tonsils out around 1947. I have been carried off brighton beach, out of shopping centres and off tennis courts. Nothing was done in those days, thankfully it is now recognised and controlled, but I always carry the fear with me. The positive side of this is I am now 79 and I am still here.cavendish10
Really wish you luck and hope all goes well and successful outcome. I had ablation almost 4 weeks ago and it was fine and now I am beginning to think may have been successful. Had lots of erratic beats and long bouts of AF/flutters but becoming rarer. So be positive but don't get up set if you are getting odd beats etc as it takes a while to settle down. All the best.
