After cardioversion

[Debfro34]

Hi me again

My husband had a cardioversion on Friday. It wasn't the same as usual when he has had Arrythmia but for severe atrial flutter and it was a rushed job in A & E where he was only partially sedated so he felt it. His heart rhythm/ speed is back to normal but he feels rubbish.

Normally after the procedure he feels well again. This time he is still a bit breathless, and constantly fatigued.

Two years ago he went into heart failure but this had improved a lot and he was nearly in normal range before this happened.

Anybody had a similar experience? Will he recover? He is saying if this is it for him he would rather die .

Thank you for listening

Debbie

Hello

I am sorry your Husband did not have to good an experience this time as it seemed rushed in A&E

It is sad he feels so down have you thought about making him an appointment with his Doctor and explaining how he feels sounds like he needs some support as well as it must be difficult for you to hear him talking this way

Despite all this I hope you both managed to have a nice Christmas x
