@nevets I agree! It’s funny looking back at this entire journey which began with a diagnosis of PSVT in my 40s. My heart beats were lodged at 290. They completed an ablation and it was wonderful. I was back to work in three days. Approximately seven years after the ablation I experienced second degree heart block with my heart rate dipping into the 20s. So I received a Medtronic pace maker on 12.20.16. A week later a blood clot in my left arm. In May 2017 while swimming my pacemaker tore from my chest and migrated to my armpit. Causing yet another surgery.
Until 2025 things seemed to be working no blood clots, and no crazy mishaps. However, I started feeling my heart racing and I became light headed and short of breath. Due to me having a pacemaker the cardiac team could view my arrhythmias. On May 10, 2025 I was in a fib for approximately 6 1/2 hours. And again on October 19, 2025 another 6 1/2 hour stent. From October 19, 2025 until my ablation on December 3, 2025 I had 82 episodes of Afib. I was extremely excited to be able to have another ablation because I did so well the first time. However, it was a different type of ablation instead of heat. They did the radio frequency. Which now has turned into three weeks of pericarditis. I noticed yesterday that I had no heart pain or discomfort until about 10:15 AM. Then it was the rest of the evening that I felt the pressure in my chest. I spoke to my cardiologist yesterday and they want to do a heart catheterization to see if there are any blockages. So until then I am off work, and trying to take it easy, watching my caffeine intake, as well as exerting myself. It has been quite the journey with my cardiac team. I just wish that they could figure out what to do so that I could regain my life.
