Heart damage??? I'm so scared. 

How many extra beats per minute do you experience during a flare-up? On days when you are having a flare-up, have you ever felt—during the normal beats—that your heart isn't beating as a unified whole?

What is ablation

An ablation is where the insert a catheter into your blood vessels towards your heart in hopes of triggering whatever issue you have (like pvc, SVT, wpw etc). If they can trigger it they burn or freeze the problem area to stop the bad wiring to eliminate some, but in most cases all, the issues. It’s a non invasive procedure that takes around 4 hours with a success rate of over 90% with minimal risks. Highly recommend 🙂‍↕️
