You are indeed unfortunate to be undergoing all these at the prime of life. you should maintain full confidence in your cardiologist and his team,
They are doing everything for you and hope you get well soon.

Sounds like you've really been through the ringer there. I'm sorry you are going through all that. Your best bet would be to talk with your cardiologist to find out if your symptoms are normal, but you really should talk with a therapist or counselor too. Nerves might be playing a part in making you feel even worse, and I wouldn't blame you a bit if you were depressed because of your illness. It woud really help to have someone to talk to. It might not be a bad idea to keep a cell phone or something like that on you at all times, just in case you start blacking out and can't make it to a phone. Just hang in there...

You gotta take a cardiologist professional help. If you are having heart failure your gonna be given the anti-failure medications. This is probably why are not feeling well. If you are having a complete heart block; a pacemaker can be inserted into your body so that your heart pumps regularly.
Good Luck

I would say. Exercise all you can. Walking, walking and more walking. And realize that you achieved what a lot of us are still desiring. Paramedic status. You are our hero, you frickin' paragod! The heart loves to beat, that is all it wants to do, so walk. Look up Bob's Best, Co-Q10, Matthias Rath and Jordan Ruban on the net. God bless you smoke-eater!

If you are having heart failure symptoms and recently had two ablations, don't overdo until your specialist clears you. Careful of advice on the net. Hang in there buddy.
