After Cardioversion feeling dreadful

[margiollie59]

I had my 3rd Cardioversion 7 days ago, unfortunately rather than feeling better and l feel dreadful. I cannot walk more than 5 steps without a lot of tightness in my neck/ chest shoulders and back it’s like lm being strangled from the inside and my legs feel so heavy like lm wearing lead boots. I really can’t understand? I’m on Amiomedrone and lm wondering if it could affecting me? Do you think if l had a heart stress test now lm in normal rhythm it would help to see if lve got heart failure? I’m devastated l feel so poorly (worse than before my cordioversion) have no energy and can’t breath well walking or going up a few stairs.

Are you certain you're in Normal Sinus Rhythm? Do you have a Kardia or some other device indicating this? You may want to consider going to hospital or calling Drs office for new ECG and possibly have them do an Echo and run cardiac blood tests to see exactly what is going on. Best of luck.

Hello, I think you really need to discuss this with your cardiologist or GP, sooner rather than later. If you can’t get hold of them then try 111. The BHF helpline nurses are really good at pointing you in the right direction. They’re on 0300 330 3311 weekday office hours.

If you don’t already, keep a diary detailing how you’re feeling, BP, heart rate, and keep it going so you have an objective reference source when you have appointments.

Hope you get to speak with someone soon and start to feel better.
