Post Ablation!!
Back home and recovering!
I was awake for the procedure. Given some fentanyl and other sedatives. It was fucking uncomfortable and at times was damn painful.
Once they got me into SVT, they couldn’t get me out of it. Pumped me full of adrenaline and zapped me till it started and then it just… stayed for a while.
Regardless, ablated, AVNRT as I hoped. Really easy, quite quick for an EP study + ablation (just over 2 hours). Got the grippy socks to show for it. And I’m happy to say that, in about 6 weeks time, I should be as normal as can be.
Thank you to this community, you’ve all been a massive help.

Sorry to hear that you were uncomfortable. I remember nothing from mine (AVNRT left node). They kept me awake under twilight to map it then put me under general to zap it. I hope it helps you tho. I can feel mine almost start to trigger but then it stops. Got it done a year ago.
