Last week I had a procedure done on my heart, called a "catheter ablation". I had been having PVCs (premature ventricular contractions or "skipped" heart beats) and been dealing with these issues since September, and it wouldn't go away, even with giving up my beloved Mountain Dew. So rather than be on beta-blockers, with average results, i opted for the procedure which has a 90% success rate.
I have to say that I wasn't nervous at all when I scheduled the procedure. I was looking forward to it. I couldn't wait to be done with all this irregular heart beating stuff. But as the days grew closer, i realized that even though this is a low-risk procedure, there could always be complications, right? Well, i know that it doesnt help to worry about stuff, but to have a healthy appreciation for the reality of life.
I'm happy to say that procedure went well and almost immediately, i have felt better. Almost wish i had done it sooner. That's it! No more crazy heart beat!
And that, my friends, is getting to the heart of the matter. :)
