Hi Nicola, I recommend you an ablation, since you have a lot of symptoms, I made mine on March 3rd and I feel
less problems since then, I take metroprolol sometimes when my arrythmia is bothered me, but since the ablation I feel much better, you have to discuss with your doctor, and also check if is not anxiety, because all this symptoms could be due to anxiety problems, that I think is normal, nobody likes to have these kind of triggers in your heart.
Hi Nicola. You need an advocate to ensure you get the appropriate treatment. Can I suggest you approach some welfare group to get this matter sorted out. All the best.
HIya guys what’s advocate ?
Hi Nicola. It is a person who knows the system and can get you the best result. I live in NZ so our systems would be different from yours - I presume you are in the UK. We have heart foundation and various support groups for different conditions. We also have Citizens Advice Bureaus which can give people the contact details of these groups. I hope this helps. Bob
