I am 23 years old. I was diagnosed with WPW after being required to stay on a heart monitor after delivering my youngest daughter and the nurse discovered that my heart rate never went below 100bpm the entire 24 hours that I was on the monitor, even when I was sleeping. EKG shows the delta wave, and a holter monitor showed that my highest resting bpm was 140. I have a healthy, normal sinus rhythm, normal heart muscle, no sign of weakening or any kind of deformities, other than the WPW. I've been on two different beta blockers, metoprolol and then after a year of no symptoms it started up again and I have been on Atenelol for about a year now. I'm exhausted all of the time, I feel a lot older than I am because of the medicine along with the palpitations and the SVT that I still experience. I'm always scared of "sudden cardiac death" that can be a complication from WPW. I think that I'm ready to go ahead and have an ablation procedure, but would like to hear some success stories? I'm incredibly nervous about having any kind of procedure done to my heart. Can anybody share their experiences?
