SVt and Af {wwpw}

0 Recommendations

Hi. I am 56 yrs old and I had a small prob with fast heart when running as a chlid. A nurse give me a med
about 12 yrs ago that sent me over the edge. Now I have bouts of SVT and AF all the time . I passout and I have even been ablated for it. I am on 75 mgs of mtoprol twice a day now. I still passout sometimes and I keep upping my meds all the time. They want to do the ablation again but I now have a bad leg due to the cables they put in my leg durning the ablation. I have both and they say its not possable but I have it. That is whats it called WPW. I am not sure how young a person is when they start the ablations now days but you might ask about it! I can now walk with out getting out of breath and as bad, I have not had to have my heart stoped sence I had it done, these are the good
things I got from haveing it done, so it did help some!!!
They make the heart do the thing it dose and then they zap it there where it is shorting out and it grows new opptics where it was zaped. It helped me about 75% and now I have another 25% they want to do. They can only do so much at one time! They shut the whole lab down the day they did me. They said I made hestory that day! They used the new cool-tip on me that day and I was the first there at UAMS to have it done on them with it! Was I their ginny pig, yes! I do belive thats how its all tested and trird ,for it all ofcourse, and now we know how it works ! Its just a matter of how bad and how much the meds work for a person and how often you have the spelles with the heart. I do know the more often they stop the heart the weaker it can make it! I did alot of surching and alot of prayers before I let them work on me! Its no walk in the park, no! Its a plan B if the meds dont work!
First they have to make a map of the hearts beats, its called a EP study and they go from there! Thats about all I know to share! I dont belive in luck I belive in prayers for sure, thats what got me through it all ofcrouse, God ! I will pray for you-all !

Prayers for All!
