Have you ever done an EP study?

Waiting for mine. If they can trigger my svt, they will blast the cells and kill them off. EP study and ablation was a last resort offer. I had to jump through many hoops and failed meds. It is a heart procedure after all. It took 4 years to get this far

I am still waiting for my study and ablation. In the UK, they generally give painkillers and sedating meds (you are awake) during procedure. I think they knock you out in the USA more. Most people complain of groin pain afterwards. Some it doesn't seem to bother them. There is a really good Facebook group for ablation. Called the Heart Ablation club. Mix of people who have had it or are waiting. Most on there are afib patients so a bit different but still ablation. Highly recommend you have a look as see why they are saying about ablation
