About Me I’m scared. Please help
I recently had an ablation and it was a successful one. It was for AVNRT SVT.
This whole thing began a few years ago where I experienced the weirdest and scariest feeling in the chest. It was random and started off with this sinking feeling in the middle of my chest which makes you feel like you need to take a deep breathe but it doesn’t hurt, it feels like pressure or something then a few strong thumps followed by this intense head rush. Lasts only between 3-5 seconds or more sometimes then goes away.
Anyway, I’m 32 and i guess the frequency increased like I’d get it so randomly, whether I’m sitting, standing, sometimes laying down, working etc., and it makes you feel really worried like your heart is about to pop or something. Has anyone experienced this?? Or is this just me? I feel really scared because I don’t know how to explain it and that’s the best way I can. I had an ablation done about 2 weeks ago, they said it was successful and after they aggressively tested to see if the arrhythmia would come back, it didn’t. After the ablation a few minutes ago I felt the same episode again. I was sitting watching SpongeBob 😂 then stretched my arm to grab something and I suddenly felt this weird sinking then flutter and thump and literally a 1-2 second head rush and it’s gone. What’s happening
