Hello :-)

You have been through an awful lot and I can understand why this now feels scary especially as they are not sure what is happening but they will work it out I am sure and I hope others that may have found themselves in a similar situation will reply to you

Keep us updated and how you get on :-) x

So sorry you are going through this.It sounds like they are looking after you.Is the change of medicines helping you?Before I had my aortic valve replacement I had very scary nights and strange heart rhythms.Hope they find out what’s going on and can give you an affective treatment.
