MRI is normal but having seizures every day

On Monday l was admitted in the hospital to be tested to see if l was having seizures. Then all of a sudden my heart went into tachycardia. My heart rate went up to 185 beats a minute. They nurses saw it moving up but when it reached that high my cardiologist came. So there were 4 nurses a crash cart and my doctor. He a good doctor l just so blessed. So he tried to get me to take slow deep breaths. Then he told me l going to give you a med then l will stop your heart and then restart it by shocking you. And l just praying silently not showing fear. And God blessed l went right back into normal rhythm. He couldn't believe it. Then it happened the next day so the doctor said we will have to do something.So on Thursday he was trying to get someone to do a heart ablation surgery. And on ,Thursday the doctor he really liked who does it had a cancellation. I had my surgery on Friday. And he told me all these years when everyone wasn't telling you that you had a mental problem it was always your heart. You were born with this and the doctors who ran your cath test should have seen that it was your heart. I so blessed that God put these doctors in my pass. Now he wants them to take care of my liver. Thank you Jesus there are still good doctors who care.

God is Good all the time.
Hi, @techi - thanks for the update on your time in the hospital being monitored for seizures, and glad you connected with @qcity and @johnhans. I merged your post with this discussion in which your updates have appeared previously, "MRI is normal but having seizures everyday!"
Wow - amazing you happened to be in just the right place when something else entirely happened, tachycardia, a heart rhythm disorder https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tachycardia/symptoms-causes/syc-20355127. Glad you were able to get in so quickly for the heart ablation surgery your cardiologist recommended.
Here is a particular discussion in the Connect Heart Rhythm Conditions group which you might like to read and where you might be interested in sharing your experiences with ablation, as the conversation touches on heart ablation surgery https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/desperately-frightened-please-help-me
I realize things have taken quite a different turn and this may not be your top focus at this point with the heart issues that cropped up, but wanted to know, if you feel up to it, what has happened thus far related to your seizure monitoring, @techi?
Hi Lisa @techi, I was so happy to read your latest post. It is really great news about the timing and all of the doctors and nurses being at the right spot at the right time. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us.
Blessings on your day...

Same thing happened to my mother. She was always told it was mental. Then her heart went into fibrillation. Tests showed her heart was damaged as a child and now she was in her mid 60s. All those years of needless damage to her heart because the doctors did not correct the problem many years ago. She had heart surgery just when the variable heart lung machine was being put into use. Without it she would not have survived surgery. God gave us 12 more years with her. Never give up on finding an answer. If one doctor does not work, try another. I am so glad you kept on going to get your answer.
