Merry Xmas!

Merry Xmas 🎅 to you all! I am still awaiting a full diagnosis following my syncopal event whilst driving last Dec. I have another consultant appointment in January and should hopefully find out more, although I suspect it will lead to more tests. I had not heard of syncope and it’s prevalence until the start of this year. I know I have unpredictable AF and complex VT, which is not great and from I understand, difficult to treat. My Implant is collecting more data which is useful. The scary part is the uncertainty of going into arrest which according to my Cardiologist is a low risk!! The uncertainty of not knowing the outcome is challenging, although I realise through this forum I am not alone. Best wishes for the season!
