Breathless after ablation

Dear other health seekers

Many thanks for your support and kind words over the last 4 weeks as I have now been through 3 heart procedures and had 2 spells in different hospitals and very glad to be home.

If it helps after various tests procedures my exact issues were only vaguely defined

1 afib - yep got that and hopefully ablation sorted

2 breathless - this proved much more difficult to diagnose - end result was my right chamber is slightly enlarged - causes dizziness, afib and breathlessness - get all of those so tick

3 other thing found was slightly more thickening of the archeries

But in the end no on could say you had x and it caused y so for now I am starting a cardio rehab programme offered by my local UK Hospital and have with help from youngest daughter decided to not let my health issues rule my life thus slow walks A gentle gym sessions and plans for the future and a resolution for 2018 not to end up in hospital as an inpatient

I wish you all well in your various recoveries and many thanks again there were moments of real fear over the last month and this forum really helped

Steve

That sounds like a good approach to your rehab. Slow and steady does it but keep moving on. All the best.
