I was wondering whether anyone else suffered with fatigue as well as
SVT, not when there is SVT occuring but as well as having the
condition.
My name is Melanie and I had my first episode when I was 19, I am now
29. For the first 7 years, I didn't worry too much because it only
occured a few times and would stop. The last 3 episodes were very
unpleasant and involved me going to hospital, the first 2 times they
stopped after an hour to a half, the last time they continued for 2
hours and I had to be injected to stop them. The last episode was in
April and it has really affected me, I worry a lot about a repeat
episode, which led to sleep problems, but this is improving.
I am considering and have been booked in for a cryoblation, has anyone
had ablation on this site?, I am very nervous but I thought it would
be the safest option as the affected area is so close to the AV node.
If any of this sounds familiar to you please get in contact.
