Back from hospital

[Lorna058]

To update everyone, my GP sent me from his surgery to CCU 12 days ago in fast AF. They attempted Cardioversion on 2 consecutive days, unsuccessfully at which point the consultant said it clearly wasn't going to work. He then tried loading doses of Bisoprolol10mgs a day and Amioderone 400mgs three times a day, also no effect. He then phoned the electro physiologist in Liverpool and I was transferred three days later. On Friday he performed an ablation. I am now home, with a pulse of 58-62and feeling good. I can't praise these doctors enough, and I hope my experience will encourage everyone.

Great news and wonderful treatment. Now make sure that you rest for at least two weeks and don't worry if things get shaky from time to time. It takes three months for things to settle down as I am sure they will have told you.

Well done.

Now that is what you call specialised treatment. Brilliant how all medical staff worked together and they didn't mess around trying too many different meds.

Really happy for you and just relax now to let your heart heal.

Is this the Northern Powerhouse at work....?

That's wonderful, not being in fast AF in the first place but to get it sorted with good results is a result. Hope all keeps going well for you, take it easy for a few weeks.

That was really superb health care for what must have been a very frightening experience. It's an attractive way to have an ablation - no wondering and dithering - just get it done!

I hope it takes care of your AF for good and wish you NSR and a good recovery - thank you for sharing your experience. It helped me to keep my condition in perspective.

Best wishes and may it last for ever 😀

Apart from the days in hospital and general upset, that's a speedy way of moving yourself forwards a long way!
