I am 24 years of age and was diagnosed with arythmogenic cardiomyopathy two years ago . I am thinking of starting a family soon and would like others to with the same condition to tell me how they coped with this . My anxiety is through the roof ⁉️

Hello Yeng97
Welcome to the forum,
I suggest you ask your GP to refer you for pre pregnancy and genetic counselling.
This type of counselling is usually provided at larger maternity units in the UK.
A multidisplinary team is usually involved. The team often consists of Cardiologist with an interest in women's heart health, an Obsterican, Midwife and Neonatologist.
Here's a link to one at a centre of excellence in London.

Perhaps also contact Cardiomyopathy UK, a charity for people living with different types of cardiomyopathies.
Good luck !
