panic over heart feelings

[wbekim]

Pad for 10 years very few noticeable incidents but always been anxious about heart rate and rythmn went persistent afib in June cardio version in October lasted for about a week back in persistent afib cannot cope with constant squeezing pulling flipping and general irregularities of heart rate is relatively stable 50-60 sleep 65-90 day with increase when walking etc seems to be made worse by eating sat down then get up and goes berserk not fast but fluctuating and fluttering wildly also if wake up in night when get back in bed it comes on particularly if I lay on right side and when I wake up it’s particularly bad until I get up and move around during day when walking feels like heart is swinging about on list for ablation but I will have to arrange a loan for private as cannot and will not cope with these horrendous feelings daily

Not a lot I can offer, other than to say that it does feel horrible and it IS worrying. Of course it is! It’s your heart! We only get one and we’d rather it was working like a dream, but alas not. If you have an arrhythmia nurse it might be an idea to ring and ask if there’s anything that you can do/take to get you through this waiting period though I know that there’s not a lot more that many of us can do as we’re trying our best already.

Appreciate your reply it is incredibly exhausting thinking you are about to die several times a day I don’t fear death but I do fear living life like this
