I feel for you Bridget but why the stress? It really is a non event trust me. You will look back and wonder what all the fuss was about in a few weeks.

Oh My gosh you poor thing! What a carry on, people seem to comment on that a lot here.

I agree the stress is bad enough but then having to go through it again unbelievable.

Am so sorry for you, not quite sure these medics get what it does to patients when this happens, even if there was a good enough reason to cancel it.

Keep your chin up Bridget, hopefully it wont be long before your telling us its done!

Good luck+lots of hugs

Oh really! Spit tintacks. How annoying.

Have you been OK while off flecainide?

Not bad Rellim. Had a few flutters which was a bit scary cos I thought I was going to go off on one but I didnt. But back on the Flecainide tonight for another 10 days then Ill stop again.

Well, perhaps it won't be so worrying next time.

RATS!

Never mind, at least they have given you another date soon. Try not to be too stressed, I was and in the event there was nothing that warrented all the worry beforehand. Easy to say I know and not quite so easy to do.x

Personally I was looking forward to my ablations. No worries at all. Until I woke up from the anaesthetic...

There's nothing to worry about.

Thanx all. Just a bit dissappointed I suppose as Id built myself up for it but 2weeks will fly by Im sure

I've had two ablations and to be honest it's not something I would think about much if and when (hopefully) a third one comes along. Like pip, I was looking forward to my 2nd although was nervous about the 1st but that was 10 years ago when we didn't know much and there was no forum.

Hope it does the job.

Sorry to hear that Bridget. Reading your past posts I can see how anxious it makes you feel. I'm with PiP & Koll, I kind of looked forward to mine, as I was so curious about the procedure. Have a relaxing Easter and once the holidays have past it will be here and over in no time. Hopefully you will be posting how much of a breeze it was :)

Oh Bridget, so sorry to hear that, stress upon stress and the meds issue to start and stop again. Sadly we hear of this all too often. I hope you get sorted next time.

Big hugs
