After a 3 day run of af and heart rate bumping along between 32-167 finally took myself off to ae for my usual treatment and what happens just as ambulance pulls up outside doors of ae back to bldy 60 and stays there. They gave me the usual blood tests and sent me on my way home. This is the first long episode (well 3 day one) as gone from episodes lasting couple hours to all day now this one. This one had me literally crawling upstairs on my hands knees but as I do have other cardiac issues which also doesnt help. So Monday going to ring cardiologists secretary and ask if im on ablation list yet as was told in March ill be added to list. In the meantime ill just keep a record of each episode and length as nice doc in ae told me to x

Oh no how frustrating and upsetting for you. What a mean condition this is. I do hope you are through this episode fully and high up the ablation list asap.

Rest and take care, I really feel for you.
