Hi guys,
I have just spent all morning in the ER because I went into A-Fib first thing this morning. Its been 9 weeks since my myectomy and 8 weeks since I my first and only other bout of A-fib which happened just after the surgery. Last time I was in A-fib for 5 days and needed cardioversion to get back in sinus rhthym.
Naturally I feel upset, because I was just starting to get over all the trauma and complications of my myectomy (bleeding etc.). The ER called my cardiologist who said I could go home and then call her on Monday to arrange anti-coagulation etc. I cannot get hold of my cardiologist in person to talk to her about this plan and am concerned about leaving it all weekend (its Friday here right now) until I get some further help. I feel pretty ill, SOB and uncomfortable. What should I do?
Cheers,
Paul
