Okay...
I'm not having it done right now and not sure when in the future it will need to be done. However, since my doctor has been mentioning 'alcohol ablation' at my recent visits, I have started to draw concerns.
I don't even like looking it up. I mean those complications are not something I am to fond of and it doesn't make me comfortable in making a decision. Well, he said that there was no other option but the 'alcohol ablation' because they couldn't cut out where the thickness currently was. I mean they couldn't get it all out. I guess that's a disqualify for another myectomy.
I mean I had my myectomy at 7 years old with a mechanical heart valve having to be put in as well. I don't only have hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and don't even know the other names for the heart conditions I have. Also, the HOCM is an unusual form they said. Though, I currently don't represent any symptoms...which I'm thankful for.
You see this makes me nervous when I read about complications from 'alcohol ablation' or worse. Doesn't this procedure hurt? How long does the pain last? I'm sorry, I am just rambling, but I knew to come here because you all would understand. I am only 22 years old.
