@cdk43, your words are kind and thoughtful. I am sorry that you are alone and have no support. You have Mayo Connect support though...and I am glad you are able to reach out to others both to offer support and gain some too. I have never had Afib, so I cannot speak to it, except to say I can only imagine how freaky and scary it must be. To have almost died is something one does not forget. No wonder you have fear and anxiety. I am happy to hear you are feeling better after your ablation. What do you do to help calm your mind when you feel the fear and anxiety creeping up on you?
