I should note that my symptoms only become a problem during periods of increased cardio health. That is, in the spring and summerSummers eve anti-itch when I am more active (biking), my heart experiences heart block at rest. It gets to the point that I stop exercising to get the symptoms to go away. This is a huge problem. I'm supposed to exercise to increase heart health, but doing so seems to make my heart less effectiveEffective strength cough syrup.
What should I do? I don't want to be one of those people that constantly runs up his medical premiums by repeatedly going to the doctor for reasons of anxiety, but I don't feel I have all the answers. I have had this problem since I was a little kid, and want to know why. Most importantly, I want some assurance that it won't progressively get worse, with me dropping dead because of some "new development" in my heart's disease. This is all scary stuff...
If it were me, I would prob get a second op and also ask all of these excellent questions of the doctor. I usually make notes to take with me so that I remember everything that I want to ask and ask I do!!! I do not leave the office until I understand what the doctor is telling me.
For me, my cardiologist has never been able to tell me why I have an electrical prob with my heart. I guess there are some things that even they don't have answers to which is v frustrating for me. I try to learn all that I can tho, online, on this forum and yes, from my doctors!! I am paying them to spend time with me so I do not feel bad at all when I ask a lot of questions!
Good luck!
