Heart Ablation improves balance

Hi Guys,

Had Astra Zenica Vaccination, ended up in hospital with Atrial Fibrillation. Had to do the paddles on the chest to get back into rythm. 3 months later had booster, same again. Saw cardiologist explained, many people were getting AF from Vaccine and COVID. Heart deteriorated over 4 months with AF happening every second day. Cardiologist said better do heart ablation, up though groin, into heart, ring bark the heart nerves on low and high pressures sides. I am still alive :)

Best part, no longer need a walking stick. Can stand up and walk without having to rebalance first

Balance is not perfect but WOW. I am so happy

Rest BPM went from 65 to 75 after operation.

Anyone else with this experience ???

I have SCA2, I should have mentioned. Symptoms started age 57, now 67. Now almost as good as 10 years ago

🙂 Its’s good to know you feel so much better..

It’s possible that your heart symptoms could have been linked to your diagnosis

We confirm the presence of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in a large group of SCA2 patients.

I googled....Heart problems linked to SCA2
