Throat "fullness"

I've recently been diagnosed with SVT and am considering an ablation.  Any advice or experience with ablations would be appreciated.   I'm also wondering if anyone else has had a "full" sensation in the throat with diagnosed SVT.  Dr.'s say it "could be" related, but I guess we won't know until after the procedurre.   Thryoid is clear.
Thanks.

P.S.  I have AV Nodal Re-entry Tachycardia type of SVT, which my EP claims is the easiest type of SVT  to treat with ablation.  Do you know what type of SVT you have?  I didn't know what type I had until after the ablation.  Hope this helps.

You're very welcome, Maura......I'm glad I was able to help you.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.  

P.S.  It helped me tremendously to read Tom's journal prior to my ablation.  I felt much more comfortable about the ablation once I had an idea of what to expect.  All the people on this board are very friendly and knowledgeable and their answers and reassurances helped me in understanding SVT, arrythmias, and ablations much better than I did.

Thank you for your responses Jannie.  It's a relief to know others have experienced that "fullness" sensation.  And I do not know what type of SVT it is yet...they did say they wouldn't know until they went in.  Just waiting for my consultation appt. and then scheduling for ablation.  The Dr. is BUSY, but supposed to be very good. I will check our your journal too.
Thanks again,
Maura

I'm 4 months post ablation for 45 years of AVRT.  So far, no further episodes.  I also have a number of journals that describe my experience. You can access mine and Jannie's by selecting out user names and navigating to them from there.  We're here if you need us.

Hi MQ45 - I had a successful ablation two weeks ago today.  Please see my journal which contains the complete account of the ablation experience.  It's in 3 parts.

Yes, I did have a "full" sensation in my throat before every SVT episode.  No thyroid problems.

My best to you,
Jannie
