Had cardioversion on 22nd. July, was due to go to Florida the next day told by medical staff to go.

I did not take their adive did I do the wright thing?

Probably not but whatever is right for you is all that matters. I expect youhad grief with your holiday insurance.

[daytona606 in reply to BobD]

I have just contacted my insurance without any response no doubt I will have grief dealing with them, thanks for your advice.

As Bob says .. you do what is right for you. In your position I doubt very much that I would have flown to Florida the day following a cardioversion ( in fact I know I wouldn't but that's me ! ) That would be sufficient trauma to the heart without bringing the pressure of flying long distance into the equation

I have had very many cardioversions & been offered conflicting advice over the years.You know how you feel. Others will react differently to the same situation.

A bit late now but of course you should have contacted you insurance company at the time. Let's hope they are ' understanding '!

Imagine what your insurance company would said had you gone to America and required medical treatment!

I hope you tell them that the cv affected you badly!

I was advised to rest and have someone with me for24 hours post ablation due to anaesthetic after effects. Surely these Instructions cover flying long haul too? I wouldn't have gone so soon either

[rosyG]

think you've been sensible!

If you were going to the Tampa area console yourself with having missed six inches of rain one day this week.

[daytona606]

Six inches of rain at least better weather at home
