So I'll go first:
What irks me the most about having SVT is the limits it imposes on my life, increasingly.
It started as a fear of travelling too far away from the city. The main reason for that is, whilst hospitals in other cities will have Adenosine, I have anxieties around trusting doctors... the ones I know in my city, I trust. Others, I'm not too sure. Also, a huge advantage of never leaving my city is that there is a separate Cardiology A&E (ER), which means there is usually a very short waiting time - less than ten minutes - between arrival and being treated. This is a luxury I am not ready to miss out on. I've gotten used to this, so the thought of having to go to a huge hospital emergency in a new city, filled with people with various illnesses, kind of panics me... Again, I know that lots of people have to do that, but the facilities at my city's hospital have made me complacent...
And I hate that I have to think in this way, i.e., if God forbid I do travel somewhere, then I will still be tortured on my travels by the knowledge of being far away from my home hospital.
I can't take a damn flight without being terrified the entire time.
I recently overcame my fear of flying with SVT by taking a three-hour flight.
Mind you, I never had a fear of flying when my SVT was under control.
Mine is not a "fear of flying", but a "fear of flying with SVT". It's the increased frequency and gravity of my episodes that scares me. What if I got one aboard a plane?
Now I have the opportunity to travel internationally on a 9-hour flight to a great destination.
I've ALWAYS wanted to go there and I can't let my stupid SVT fears stop me.
But the fears do stop me. SVT stops me from a lot of things.
I'm the kind of person who feels a lot better when I put my feelings into words, so just posting this here now helps to quell my SVT frustration. I guess that's positive...!
