Now need a stent or bypass

[Toehold1]

I posted on here a bit ago that I have been tired and out of breath ever since my 5th ablation last August. My cardiologist put it down to the Bisoporol I was taking but 3 months ago after seeing him and complaining he sent me for a ultrasound scan. All was OK then I wrote to him saying I am not right I want a stress test which he organised 2 weeks ago and during the test he told me to stop as I was getting etopics and whatever else. He said it looks like the heart is being starved of blood so now I am waiting for an angiogram. My question is if I have coronary heart disease could this be the reason my 5th ablation was not a success at all as I've been in and out of AFIB ever since. I've also had to stop the Flecanide and been told not to do anything strenuous. It's not great news but am hoping an op will relieve the tiredness and lessen the chance of a heart attack but also help with my Afib, has anyone else been through this?

I would put your post on the BHF forum here:

Lots of members there with experience of what you're having.

It’s a very worrying time for you. I can’t help except to say that two friends had bypasses in their late sixties and both lived into their mid nineties. That’s always brought me to think that this is a quite extraordinary operation to have. My sister in law is currently awaiting hers having had an emergency stent inserted a while back..

Can you tell me whether you have experienced pain with your breathlessness etc? I have similar symptoms. I've had echo which shows everything OK. At one point I queried with EP whether I need to have an angiogram but he thought not as I was not experiencing pain. My blood tests are all fine

No pain at all.
