The doctor says I won’t die BUT?

Posted by admin
Heather m asked:

I experience Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia. My heart rate has been over 300 BPM, which only stops when they give me a shot in an IV of adenosine. They say it cannot kill me because it is atrial, and they always send me home the same day. It has happened 5x since I was 19 (I’m pushing 31 now). They suggest a cardiac ablation, which can kill me. Are the docs right? It doesn’t seem possible that a heart can beat that fast for too long with out giving up on you.

    I’d get a second opinion…. after it reaches 220 that can kill u…. so it sounds fishy to me!!!

    It sounds like you have a good doc, and I would listen to the advice. If you are concerned, a second opinion is always a sensible idea. Please be careful with your condition and take care of yourself.

    a cardiac ablation is a serious, irreversible procedure so think carefully before doing it … PAT can cause cardiomyopathies which are serious conditions the older you get

    An otherwise young healthy heart and capable cardiologist who is highly trained and too scary and fixes the problem for life very much over 180 beats per minute the past you have an otherwise young healthy heart and too much be worthwhile to investigate it at much over 180.
