I would like to thank everyone at RBH for my treatment,culminating in a catheter ablation on Ward 23 last week. Their professionalism, kindness and skill was exemplary. It's too soon too comment on the outcome although I have only had one episode lasting about 3 hours since the procedure.
In the weeks immediately before the atrial fibrillation would last 48 to 72 hours, then a similar period clear. Alternately it would last 3 to 4 hours, clear for s short period then commenced again without any apparent triggers. Often it would start, or stop during sleep. Often breathlessness is caused by the atrial fibrillation. Invariably frequent visits to the toilet during the first hour of arrymia.
Please edit or shorten as you require.
