[#3190562]

with my dodgy heart.

feeling a bit nervous, go into hospital tomorrow for the next attempt to get my heart back to normal.
endoscopy for starters to look at my esophagus (anyone know what this has got to do with the heart?), never had a pipe down and not looking forward to it at all.

the friday morning, in for a cardiac ablation, been told it is a 6ish hr procedure where you have to be conscious.

can honstly say i have never been so worried/scared in my life.
fingers crossed and all that. ๐Ÿ˜

The good news is that they tend to know what they are doing.

The bad news is .... well I cant think of any really.

But the very best of luck! Make sure to come back and give us a blow by blow account.

Can you take photos?

Ive had the endoscopy, camera down the throat, they either spray your throat with a numbing spray, the camera looks like a black hosepipe with a light in the end of it,youre asked to lie on your side, and slowly they put the camera in your mouth, theres a mouth guard to stop you biting it, IT DOESNT HURT, DURING OR AFTER,a nurse will probably hold your arm, i asked if he was just being freindly, he said people have tried to pull the camera out, so thats why he held my arm.
After you get some toast and biscuits and a cup of tea.

Askm questions, and watch the tv screen, if you want to , its all hi tech

Best wishes .

best thing you can do during an endoscopy ton is to relax and go with it, it gets loads better when you work this out. best of luck chap.

Is the endoscopy actually a TOE? ie an echocardiogram done via an endoscope in the oesophagus rather than the usual through-the-chest-wall view? A pretty routine way of getting better views of some bits of the heart if so...

...and I know dozens of people who have had ablations with no problems.
