In Nov 2021 I felt unwell at work which happened to be as a Porter at my local hospital. On attending A+E i was found to be in AF, this turned out to be Paroxysmal. I managed to have a cryo ablation which unfortunately damaged my phrenic nerve leaving me with phrenic palsy and I found it very difficult to breathe for about 6 months then the AF came back. I have just had a second ablation with heat this time and having been nervous about having it due to the previous experience it seems to have gone ok and even thou it’s been 2 days since having it I feel like my energy levels are coming back and I’m hopeful for the future. It really knocked my confidence having AF and I felt vulnerable . I’m really looking forward to doing some of the things I gave up like mountain biking and snowboarding and hope this ablation works. Anyway I want to wish everyone with issues what ever they are all the best 🙂

It must be odd for you working in the hospital and all the things you have to do and find yourself on the other side of things { hope you were nice to the porters helping you ! }
Hopefully you will be better after this second go at it and slowly once again re-turn to your old self.
Good luck with it all and my very best wishes to you as well
