Hello everyone,

Well, I spoke too soon. My second ablation was on Thursday and I wrote that I felt wonderful. This past weekend I started a slow short walk and all was well. My heart was silent and I had no symptoms.

I went for a short walk on Monday morning and came home, sat in a chair and ate lunch, watched some t.v. All of a sudden my heart started racing. I took my blood pressure and it was 60 over 40 and my heartrate was at 125. Yes, I started to panic. I was home alone. I felt like I was going to pass out and I felt winded. My husband was 20 minutes away. I ended up calling 911 and spent Tuesday and Wednesday in the hospital. My doctor and team told me I am on the far end of normal as far as healing. Whatever that means. They said it was not abnormal to have these episodes for at least three months or longer. I did not experience this the first time around. I am also having a problem bending down and feeling lightheaded. No one seems to be concerned.

I feel so sad and also panicky when it happens. It's frightening. I cannot get in a car and drive and for right now I am afraid to be alone. The episodes are short. Can anyone tell me if they had this experience? My doctors say that the symptoms will gradually go away and take deep breaths, relax but it is still very scary and I don't want to call 911 again when I am alone. I am a little bit lost.

Can you help me feel better emotionally about this?

Thank you everyone,
