Hi, anyone else had this happen?
Had ablation 6.5 months ago. Had a few periods of tachycardia, but hotter monitor showed nothing major. Had four episodes which lasted longer and I needed PIP.
This week I've been rushing around and have probably done too much and yesterday morning I felt really tired and lightheaded. Lunchtime I noticed my heart was alternating between fast and normal every 20 secs or so (sometimes 2 sometimes 57 secs of each, all totally randomly). Eventually I took my PIP and felt better once it worked, but then last night we were out (!) And had a nice meal, (but not stupidly big) and begun to feel very faint. It last about 20 minutes and I realised my heart was now going normal and really slow! It settled down later and was okay all night as far as I can tell.
But today the fast/normal thing is happening again and I feel lightheaded and tired again, but I am reluctant to take the PIP and risk, the low heart rate!
Am waiting for arrythmia nurses to call back, but thought I'd just run it past all my 'support team' here. I'm trying not to get stressed but you know how it is....
I’ve had alternating fast then slow HR but stayed in sinus after ablation. If you have managed to record the rate & rhythm it will help your Arrythmia team decide what will help.
Not sure what Med your PIP is?
Overdoing things, Stress & worry is not going help - rest & relaxation will assist recuperation until you can speak with your Arrythmia team.
Hope you feel better soon.
That's reassuring, thank you x
