Ablation on Tuesday

[Paddinton]

Had my pre assessment today. As it might be SVT or Atrial Flutter or Fib, I had to sign permission for two procedures, and go through the dangers of both, scary. Didn't know about problems that can effect the diaphragm.

Relax they know what they are doing. Rest plenty afterwards. All the best.

Best wishes for a good result and 'quiet' recovery!

Have to stop some of my tablets today (flecanide (twice a day) and digoxin) and not take Bisopronol and Rivaroxoban (blood thinner) on the morning of the op. Only recently found a combination of tablets that actually controls it, so should be a fun weekend. Worth it in teh end though.

During my ablation last Monday they actually stimulated my diaphragm a few times to give me hiccups, although I didn't make any hiccip sound, it was just to make sure there was no problem. I didn't know about that either until the morning of my ablation. Good luck and hope all goes well on Tuesday!

It's apparently very rare, and usually only temporary and only effects one side of the diaphragm but still a bit scary
