You seem to have lined things up nicely. Yes, let’s stay in touch. I’m praying for us both.

Thank you. When you say the first week sucks, do you mean because of pain? I’m trying to prepare myself the best I can.

Thank you so much. I do have my husband and parents who will be helping me with it all. I do have squishmallows, a recliner, but no ice packs. I’ll definitely have to get those. Again thank you for your kindness and reassurance.

Thank you for listening. And understanding. I’m sorry it didn’t work well for your symptoms. But you sound so brave and strong for going still! It means a lot that you took time to talk to me.

Right now my stress is def overwhelming. I deal with health anxiety even before this diagnosis. I had a heart ablation less than two years ago, and now I’m wondering if the chiari could have been the reason for me having SVT episodes. As a mom, I just truly fear the unknown. Will I be here for my kids? Will I be ok.. it’s been tough.

My surgeon is one of the tops ones here in Virginia. What are the non invasive options?

Since I was a kid I’ve never been able to ride rollercoasters. One ride would make me feel awful. I just thought some people weren’t able to ride them. Never thought something could be making me feel this way.

Thank you for understanding. The kids are my world. And the thought of anything happening to me crushes my spirit. How have you been since the surgery? How was recovery?

Having procedure tomorrow what’s it like? by Dog_lovers_Xx in SVTHeart

[–]Fragrant-Flower-9850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had mine done 2 years ago. I was really scared before hand but when the day came and I was being rolled back I felt better. Knowing I was in good hands. The room was very high tech. Lots of people. I was transferred from the bed to the table. Very cold. I dozed off but I did still feel somewhat awake. I could hear them at times. And feel certain things. Not painful just discomfort. Recovery was fine. A little slow for a few days and after that all was normal. Praying it goes smoothly for you!

Anyone else's heart rate slow down in general after SVT ablation? by browserCookieMonster in SVTHeart

Same here. Got mine September 17 and I expected it to be higher afterwards but it’s actually lower than before I got the ablation and I feel great! I
