Hi all. Just feeling a bit tearful, anxious, worried & stressed. I'm 11 weeks post ablation now for focal atrial tachycardia. Some of you have been following my story I know.

I've had terrible dizziness since the ablation & am having my Tilt Test & 24 hour ECG monitor this coming Thursday (14th Oct). The cardiac Dr's are trying to sort the dizziness out. It's lightheadedness & it's so bad now that I feel like I'm going to faint/collapse sometimes.

I ended up in tears at work on Friday! I can't say anything at work about the dizziness, as my employer threatened to dismiss me when I was off sick with the arrhythmia (I live in the UK). Since my ablation, my arrhythmia symptoms have gone & I'm back at work full time, doing all my duties. So my employer is happy now & leaves me alone. I don't want to "upset" them again by saying anything about the dizziness. And anyway, medical info is confidential.

I'm just scared about what they might find after the tests on Thursday. Much as I want to know why I feel so dizzy all the time, I'm scared it might be bad news.

I just need a bit of support right now. Thank you so much.

Best wishes
Janey
