Hi all well another 24 hours in hospital with my Afib it’s more or less permanent now but in the early hours of Thursday morning it spiked to 200. To say it was fining would be an understatement. I had an ok night things things considered, glad to be back home and let’s hope I can go longer than two weeks before my next trip

Thank you. It’s just going to be ongoing now till I get a transplant. I can manage my symptoms quite well at home. It’s just when it spiked it really scared me and I wasn’t really aware of much. I’m going to get a life line then if or when it happens agin I can easily alert my parents xxx

So sorry to hear this, you are very brave as you say let’s hope you have a few weeks break from medical problems. I think of you now quite often and don’t know how you cope with this, I’m not sure I would be so brave as you

Love

Lol I don’t have a Choice. I’m a bit worried at the moment that I won’t be able to keep living on my own after how I was the early hours of Thursday morning. I am going to ask my social worker about getting a lifeline put in xx

That's a brilliant idea as long as you remember to wear the "bracelet" or "necklace " that comes with it. At least it will give you peace of mind. X

Yes, do that. I think that is a very good idea. It will be reassuring to just have to press a button to get help. (I think that’s what a life line is) x

I am so sorry to hear this, I started a run of bad AF but only 180 and that was bad enough. For me an ablation was mentioned which I had last December for me I wish I had had it years before.

I can’t have an ablation unfortunately. I will be in more or less permanent AFIB now till I get a new heart
