AV node ablation and pacing
Hi. Has anyone out there had an AV node ablation and pacemaker fitted. If so, what was your experience. I am under pressure to make a decision ASAP (had four unsuccessful ablations, the last one ending in emergency surgery) any comments would be appreciated.

Fast uncontrolled A/fib and A/flutter
Hi I’m new here. Twenty five year history of arrhythmias. Initially medication as and when. Then regular medication of sotalol twice daily. Eventually doing rates up to 270bpm. Four catheter ablations. First one they did a pulmonary vein isolation and isthmus line, resulting in atrial flutter. The second

I'm worried I have Ovarian Cancer
I'm 43 and in July i started having little sharp pains down by right ovary. I have had bad/painful periods for some time, figured it was due to pre menopausal symptoms. In August I went to the ER for pain in my right side, back and upper abdomen, I thought it was my gall bladder because it hurt so

I had a cardiac ablation for atrial flutter last Wed 11th Oct at LGI all the staff were lovely and put me at ease.unfortunately during the ablation for my flutter I kept going in to atrial fibrilation which at one point I was given flecanide to restore NSR. The cardiologist explained to me because of

AF and anxiety
Hello to all fellow sufferers of AF. I have had Paroxysmal AF for 18 years and it has manifested itself in many different forms. I have had 5 ablations and I would say that only the first one really made any kind of difference. In fact the last couple of ablations seems to have made the AF worse,

Getting there
In July I had a sympatectomy. The doctors had to cut a group of nerves in my shoulder close to my spine just below the base of my neck to get heart to knock off the intermittent AF and VF. My AF started in 2004. It cause me to go into cardiac arrest. Since then I worked with the doctors to get my AF

Recovery time for catheter ablation.
I have WPW syndrome and I have and arrhythmia which is caused by this and the doc told me I will need a
catheter
ablation
. I am 16 and I smoke, what would be the recovery time for me and would there be a higher risk to the procedure due to my bad habit or my age?

Catheter Ablation at 28 years old
Hi all, After suffering with an irregular heart for 10 years, I had been turned away from my GP several times, being made to feel like I was a fraud or told I was just suffering with anxiety or stress (silly hysterical women). After a particularly bad bout in October last year, I was 'diagnosed' with

Fatigue following catheter cryo ablation
Fainting and very low heart rate. 5 weeks ago I had
catheter
ablation
using cryo which has been very effective so far. I can recall waking up after a three hour procedure feeling as though I had a brutal procedure, chest pain and hyperthermia.

Newbie- suspected endometriosis

Exercise after one day after ablation, really? Should I?
Hi everyone. So Monday I had my cardiac ablation. Found out I have SVT and not Atrial Flutter. I feel great. Meaning I did not expect to feel as well as I am. I have no bruises and feel hardly any pain. EP doc said I could immediately start jogging and working out if I wanted and not to worry about etopics

Three months later and.....
I have begun to drive on my own. I do alright as long as I have someone with me. I get spells of panic when im alone. The panic is nothing like it use to be. It's more of that subtle gut feeling that something isn't quite right even though there is no way anything is wrong and your safe. House work has

Post Ablation 3 months
It has been three months since my cardiac ablation for PAC's and irregular beats. It hasn't been easy for me by any means. Almost every side effect that could happen has happened. I'm so worried that the ablation didn't work, but it's my understanding by my doctor this could take three to six months
