He was due to have a small hernia repair, but the nurse wasn't happy with his pulse and then did an ECG. The anaesthetist wouldn't put him under GA as it was a private hospital (Winfield) and they don't have the facilities if someone's blood pressure drops.
So he's had a letter from the Doctor which was copied to our GP, stating that DH has got fast atrial fibrilation and they recommend a cardiology referral. DH couldn't get an appointment with our GP but chatted to him on the phone, and he's had another ECG and bloods done today - they will decide what to do next when these come back.
He's been really tired, especially over the last couple of years and I'm feeling a bit guilty that I've been moaning about how little he does around the house and garden. We work together and he just seems completely unable to deal with even minor stress, to the point that today I really had to bite my tongue as he was making me feel edgy. He's become a not very likeable version of himself as he's got such a short fuse
Anyone else got experience of AF and treatments, and are his symptoms similar to those that others have had?
