Lesson to the medics to listen to us maybe, as we know our bodies and what does not feel right!

Hope you feel better soon,

Happy 2016

I'm ok still getting the odd flutters/breathlessness but nothing too severe to repeat really. Finished my last riveroxaban (anticoagulant) lastnight so now I am med free. We will see how it goes. Not seeing my consultant now I till mid Feb as my appointment was changed by the hospital. Still have been feeling a little anxious about doing things etc but I'm sure everyone gets like that. Supposed to be back to work full time in January but now the time is getting closer I'm thinking to just stick with part tile for another month.

It's really hard as I feel

Like people don't understand how I feel as it's not something you can directly see.

Glad your feeling much better I really hope the change of meds works for you. And it's true we know our bodies and the condition well. Try to stay positive and also we are both still in the healing stage from ablation so remember palpitations are normal at this stage, did the hospital say that to you?

[kevserg in reply to Dee1989]

yes they said palpitations and weird arrhythmia eptopics and extra beats are all normal until the blanking off period of 3 months im 7 weeks today since my ablation but like you if i get a feeling in my heart i get very anxious i have got a drs app wed about some medication for being anxious

People don't generally understand because it is not physical. People with a slightly strained calf muscle get more sympathy!!!! I also believe that many of us sufferers are like me, in that we don't complain and get on with things as best as we can. It just like in the home with electricity. Some have even said to me and argued that there are no electrical signals in the body because we are not plugged in. Mind you they could not offer a basis as to how the heart worked when I challenged them!!!!!

Well at least everyone on here understand each other and how we feel.
