hi all sorry I never replied

[Morzine]

thanks to all who answered me a while ago about my heart and pericarditis. I intended to reply yomsll but events turned nasty the fluid just continued to build up to a dangerous level it was affecting my

Left ventricle

I was rushed by ambulance Saturday to Lyon three hours anway but to the surgeon who did my ablation and operated in late sat evening thry just cut me open to release the fluids and thrn put drains for the left overs. Thry literally saved my life.

I’ve now a two inch cut stitched by my heart and thry took drains out yesterday and I’ve come home. Bed rest fir a few days and I’ve a nurse daily and under ny cardio weekly to check fluid doesn’t come back. I feel battered in my belly and chest but early days.

Once again thanks yo everyone that responded and of course I would have replied.

Thought it was uncharacteristic Sue and slightly worried so glad you made it through. Just concentrate on getting stronger now.

[Morzine in reply to BobD]

Thanks bob yes I always reply …scary but I’m alive …sue

[wilsond]

Phew! Glad to hear from you and that things have been sorted out. Wishing you a good recovery

[Morzine in reply to wilsond]

Yes phew that’s what I think. I’ve got good back up see cardio in ten days. Bit scared it will come back as they aren’t sure why it happened, think it might be the ablation as can’t find other cause .

I was found to have a small pericardial effusion after my ablation but the consultant decided it was OK to go home and luckily it didn’t worsen.

[wilsond in reply to Morzine]

Fingers crossed all well now xx

[Buffafly]

😱 So glad you survived that, it must have been terrifying. I hope it’s all improvement from now on ❤️‍🩹

[Morzine in reply to Buffafly]

That sounds horrendous and very frightening, I build up fluid 2/3 lbs and the breathlessness tells me I have a problem, so very pleased yours was dealt with and so quickly too, now rest and recover. Good luck x

[Morzine in reply to opal11uk]

So sorry to hear what you have been going through and that it has been resolved efficiently. Must have been very frightening for you and your family. I had a light case of liquid round my heart after my ablation resolved with medication. Get well quickly and take care.

[Morzine in reply to Lilypocket]

Yes surgeon said thry expect it the first week sometime but not after three months thry don’t know why

Sue

[Lilypocket in reply to Morzine]

Perhaps it was a slow build-up? My small amount of liquid was discovered quite by chance 3 weeks after my ablation as I was having rhythm problems so my cardiologist gave me an echocardiogram. Yours might have been on the boil until you finally became aware with your terrible symptoms. Of course this is just my theory but I feel your ablation may have triggered it.X
