Ablation Follow up
Hello! I had the ablation last Wednesday. First off, those cath labs are amazing. The equipment is like whoaaa! My team was amazing from start to finish. They started in through my right thigh and found I was in flutter which they (hopefully) repaired at a 98% success rate. Afterwards they went through

My main emotional trigger is my brothers sudden death from a
cardiac
arrest
after exertional exercise. Obviously, British heart foundation would be an option but they are big.

Going down hill or not
I've had numerous stents and quad bypass,
cardiac
arrest
and a few MI's. I've had this in the past where they basically convinced me it was all in my mind but then ended up having interventions. Really feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall.

Continuous discomfort
Hi all. I'm 8 weeks, it's my first pregnancy. Its taken over 2 years for me to get pregnant. For the last 4 weeks I have felt a lot, and I am just worried it's not normal. I feel sick nearly every hour of the day, I am constipated about 75% of the time, and I am feeling twinges and cramps all the time

Anybody around? I’m in a bad way 😓
I cannot stop thinking about
cardiac
arrest
, I’m so terrified. My panic attacks have increased so much over the last few weeks. I keep getting chest pains/movement/weird feelings/stinging/jolting etc etc etc also a lot of jaw pain. I’m embarrassed to keep going to the ER.

Women and heart attack
Just joined the community, lost my sister (66) last october as result of sudden
cardiac
arrest
. She had been feeling 'bloated' and had indigestion and felt very tired but no chest pain. Have since learned that women in particular confuse indigestion with heart attack/
cardiac
arrest
.

First ablation experience
I have found posts about ablation experiences really useful before I had mine for SVT two days ago, so hopefully recounting my experience will also help others. I had to be at Glenfield in Leicester for 11am, but didn’t go for my ablation until 2pm. I was really glad I took a book & magazines to read

Hypoxic Brain Injury - Please help
I went into
cardiac
arrest
in hospital 2 months ago, where I received 20 minutes of CPR with epinephrine and Ambu-bag. Doctors fear that I suffered a hypoxic brain injury. I was placed in a medically-induced coma for 3 days, and spent the following 3 weeks in hospital, then discharged to home.
