Feelings of anxiety post ablation

I found your comments very helpful and even though you are feeling anxious, I completely understand. I am now being scheduled for an ablation in the next six weeks--my decision. I know that I will be probably be feeling like you afterward, but I want a chance at a "normal" life and antiarrhythmics are not how I want to live. I did a trial on Flecainide and I hated the feelings/side effects (and the black box warnings, too!) I hope you will let us know how you are doing in the future. I am not worried about my choice and it sounds like you are going to be fine.

Thank you! Good you are getting an ablation - it’s really worth it - my quality of life has improved overall except for the small amount of anxiety early mornings - but I’m a worrier and over thinker so this probably causes it. I spoke to my surgeon yesterday and he said I’m fine and not to worry. My heart pulse was in the normal range. I’ve started taking “Calm Magnesium gummies” to help with any stress and I can feel they are helping. I’m sure you will do well having your ablation - take care and keep in touch. xo
