2 days out from ablation and I’m spiraling. My svt was found but it wasn’t ablated completely bc it was too close to the av node. I also apparently went into afib several times and needdd to be cardioverted which they told me sometimes happens due to the electricity and drugs they give you to try to irritate your heart. I’m honestly so upset and depressed. I feel like I’m going to be worse off now that it wasn’t completely ablated AND that I went into afib. My svt was mild compared to some peoples and I’m so scared it will be worse. The reason I got the ablation was so I wouldn’t have to worry about episodes and now I’m more scared than ever.

had an ablation today that was unsuccessful. the doctor said the way my heart is angled in my body created low visibility and was too close for comfort to the AV node. he told me he would not consider another ablation for many many many years. I’m 35. he said he ablated 7 spots around the origin and called it a partial ablation but was unable to ablate the origin. I’m seriously so depressed. SVT was ruining my life and I prayed this would be a cure. it effects what I eat/drink, my social life, and I feel like I am a shit mom with it bc I’m scared to go places with my kids. the doc said we will

have to wait and see if it helps at all but he was still able to induce svt with adrenaline after he ablated so to me that means it didn’t work
