Hi all, i have so many questions about WPW. I'll ring the BHF helpline again at some point soon, but i often find its good to get others opinions. This is all new to me as i was only diagnosed late December. My WPW and delta waves etc are always visibile on the ECG, whenever i take it.
1) Can WPW cause other physical problems, such as waking in the night a lot ? Before they put me on betablockers i used to wake maybe 5-10 times a night.
2) I get hyperhydrosis bad in the summer from the smallest physical activity. I was wondering if somehow WPW could be the cause? It makes sense to me as your body is perhaps working much harder than it should.
3) I',m 52. I've drank alcohol moderately for years (maybe 3-4 drinks a couple of times a week). I always thought this was fine, but now the cardiologist has said no coffee, no alcohol. I' still got out a couple of times, but now i only have maybe 1-2 drinks at most. I have definitely had increased HR in the past after alcohol, but thought everyone got this.
4) What happens if i leave it and dont have an ablation (they have booked me in for one)? When i asked the cardiologist what happens if i leave it, he just said 'nothing'.
5) I suffer from severe medical anxiety/white coat syndrome. I went to A+E the other day because my blood pressure spiked at 196/115 just from having my blood pressure checked in the first place (which is when they found my WPW) . I'm scared about the ablation, but perhaps more scared about the frequent palpitations etc that occur afterwards, and then getting myself into a panic attack about them.. which i'm sure wont be good. Thats not really a question, I just wondered how others coped.
I have more questions, but thats it for now.
