I had an appendectomy last Wednesday. Every day since then I have felt better. Yesterday I started noticing a stabbing pain where the appendix used to be and today it's even worse. Is this normal? Shouldn't it be getting better each day? On a scale of 1-10 I would say the pain is around an 8 at times today. Is pain part of the healing process or sho...
I had SVT for 20 years and was able to have a successful ablation for AVNRT type of SVT. You are on the right tract to try and figure out what can help or hurt. I found that fish oil, especially krill triggers my arrythmia. So does Coq10. These are supposed to be good for the heart but do the opposite. I take magnesium every night and that really helps, proba...
I know you've suffered with this for a long time and I pray that you'll finally get some relief. This rythm thing is such a hard thing to deal with.
I also had SVT and my ablation was in the AV node for SVT. I had 2 pathways and one had to be burned to stop the SVT. I suspect yours must have been the same type of burn. Don't try to do things too soon as the heart takes months to heal. YOu might feel okay while resting, but believe me, if you try too much too soon, you'll wear out very quickly. ...
When I tell doctors that I think fish oil is causing palps, they don't acknowledge it at all. It works for a lot of people including my husband who uses it faithfully. You just have to listen to your body on some of these things. That said, if you stop taking the fish oil and the palps continue, just continue using the process of elimanation to figure i...
I haven't been here for awhile because things have been going pretty good. Recently my blood pressure is lower than normal and my heart rate is close to 100. When I go from any position to upright, even slowly, I start blacking out. What is going on? I tire more easily and sometimes feel like I'm out of breath. The thoughts of going back to any doct...
My hormones also made mine much worse when I was in that season of my life as well as perimenopause. When I went into menopause things acutually go so much better and some years I didn't have a single attack. With age, however, things started getting worse. (Maybe I'm going out of menopause finally????) I finally was diagnosed correctly after 29 yea...
I'm 6 months out and doing great. While reading your post ablation experience, it was interesting to see how much it is like so many others who are here. If I was just resting for the first little bit, I felt like I could tackle the world and also found out it was a bad idea. It took about 2 good months to really feel like I had energy again. Just give i...
I'll agree with the others on the caffeine intake. I would avoid that for everything whether it is svt or anxiety. Avoid anything that triggers heart palpitations or anxiety. As far as the hr, mine would beat 250 bpm and it was painful. I disagree that it's okay to let it go for an extended period of time. My ep said that there is always the problem...
I'm way past that time of my life, thank goodness, but when i was where you are, it was very noticeable that it was related to hormones. When I went through the change and no longer had to deal with those monthly monsters, mine actually got a little better for a few years.
I would suggest that if you wear a monitor to capture an episode, drink a litt...
