Hi Twinks1964,
It does actually vary from person to person- both answers you were given are feasible! It depends on what heart rhythm you are having the cardioversion for and whether it reverts to normal afterwards. I expect you will have a follow up appointment with your cardiologist soon after,and they will be able to decide from there.
I hope that's helped. Take care,
Philippa
Thankz
