Hi there! I have an SVT ablation coming up this Tuesday (7/7), and am nervous and have a question. My EP stated that he doesn’t typically use sedation, as that can hinder their ability to get you into SVT. Has anyone had an ablation without sedation that they can tell me about? I have anxiety, and SVT has triggered a panic attack every time, so I’m worried that being 100% aware when they put me into SVT will trigger a panic attack on top of the SVT. He said they’d sedate me if that happens, but I’m just curious what people’s experiences with an ablation without sedation are. I’m in the US.
