Hello,
i am new to this forum but find it very
helpful so far. I was diagnosed with svt
when I was 18, now 33. I was also
diagnosed with wpw last year while having
an anxiety attack and was in the er and
they noticed this on my ekg. I am
scheduled for a consult next week with a
specialist for the ablation surgery. As
I have heard many experiences, it seems
the good over rule the bad. I wanted to
know if the scarring effects the heart at
all and what besides blot clots could be
the most dangerous thing to happen? As I
have panic disorder as well, do any of you
feel I should be totatlly put out or do
you feel being heavily sedated would be
okay. If any of you are not aware panic
disorder is when all of a sudden your
heart races for no apparent reason except
anxiety and you feel shortness of breath
because you are hyperventilating. They
say staying awake may be more safe as we
all know there are more risks when you are
put out. I am nervous but rather get
this done then take medication or
something really bad happen. Thanks for
the info, nervous one in maine!
