Don’t know a thing about it but it sure sounds like you have been through a

lot. Welcome home from the trenches and may you feel better very soon.

Hello to all my commrades, I've been here always as usual soaking itall up,

but, have had 2 hospitaliza

tions in Oct. & Nov. Oct. was being put on sotalol(Betaface)-. Didn't work,

made things worse. Ended up in ER in Nov.(thanksgiving week) w/ AF/Supra

vetricular tachacardia with all the s/s that go with it. Gave me bolus of

cardizem, then drip......sinus rythum....admission-...tests & -blood work and

finally a cardiac/physisist/-surgeon(electrit-ion of the heart) does

ablation(cauderizis-es) of abnormal heart tissue that is causing all the

arrthmyias. 21st. century stuff. Anyway, now we wait to see if this does

it?! Anyone know anything about this procedure??

Hi Connie,

Have you had a MRI of your head & neck? The brain stem as well as the

nerves in the head and neck can affect the heart rhythm. I can change my

heart rate by moving my head and neck due to neurological issues.

I know people who have had ablation for heart issues. Good luck with the

surgery.

Any questions ask, I'm not shy. Take care of you.

Big gentle huggles,
