Been forever since I have posted and it seems this forum is pretty much dead
/ dying... but might as well post and see if any of the "old timers" are
still around reading... or anyone else. WARNING: I am going to be
discussing some medical procedures and if that causes you anxiety you might
want to not read the following.
I recently had a EPS done (Electrophysiological Study) based on some heart
anomalies - after wearing a heart monitor for a month they found my pulse,
which was generally in the 60s-70s would jump to the 120s to 150s for no
apparent reason. During the study they found errors in the electrical
system of my heart and did an ablation (removed the "extra" pace maker cells
not connected to the normal sinus pace maker).
Since then my pulse has been low (upper 50s to mid 60s) and I have not had
any episodes of tachycardia (that I am aware of). I have, however, not felt
well since the procedure (done less than a week ago, so still early on in
the recovery). I do not have problems of light headedness on standing or
other signs that my pulse rate / blood pressure is too low.
I am curious if others have had similar experiences and what their healing
was like and how it affected their panic / anxiety in the long run. I am
hopeful of this helping a great deal - for my whole life I have been quite
certain that there was a physical basis for my development of a panic /
anxiety disorder and this, finally, is direct support for my beliefs (though
I suspect there may still be other oddities in my autonomic nervous
system... maybe that will turn out to not be the case or not be significant
once I have healed from the procedure and my body has adjusted to the
changes).
Would love to hear other's stories with similar experiences.
