---Hi Melanie,
i have always complained about utter fatigue beyond belief along with
suffering from arrhythmias.....i dont think people truly understand
when your tired like this, actully how awful you feel...i've never
felt tiredness like it, but my doctor cant explain it....i have now
started working with my condition and dont push myself like i used to
as it is not worth feeling much more unwell.....i also go for an
alternate therapy called "shen" which can raise energy levels and i
believe this to be of a great help to me....I understand when you say
you are worried about your next run of fast heart rate, i to worry all
the time but i have learned over time to cope better each time...i
practice deep breathing to stay calm and this helps a bit.....can i
ask what is "cryoblation"? is it the same as radio frequency ablation
or is it a particular area being ablated?
I went into hospital last April with the view to ablation but after
having an electrophysiology study done there was no visible, safe
pathway that suggested i had SVT (which is what my diagnosis had been
for years).....However, the girl in the next bed to me had successful
ablation and honestly looked fine when she come back to the ward and
said it was ok and not painful...you should get something to calm you
while they are doing the EP study in the first instance and the only
thing i felt during that was as if there was something in my throat
but it was not sore...I wish you all the best and hope you have a
successful ablation and your quality of life increases as a
result...please let me know how you get on!
Best Wishes,
Kathleen
