Ventricular ectopics

I’m new here! Hello everyone!

I have had a rather difficult year and have been away from work since the end of Jan. To cut a long story short (and after every test under the sun and a couple of visits to A and E) - I have been referred for an ablation as my ectopics are running at around 30% all of the time. The waiting list is around 6 months. I mostly feel tired but also feel that I am getting used to the medication and much more able to function normally (compared to how I was April/May). I have so far been lucky in that I have had no major health issues (I am 63) - just feeling a bit sad by all this and not sure how to while away for months till the op or what to expect post op - tips anyone? Thank you xx

The Mediterranean diet is a very good diet I went on a cardio rehab course and every Friday we had professional people come in and give us a talk one wason food and we received literature as well. You have to eat at least 5 fruits and veg per day. They prefer you to have 7. Drink2 litresof water per day. Whole meal bread beans pulses 1 white fish per week and also 3 oily fish e.g. Mackerel salmon eggs are good for you. Good luck
