Second time AFIB have-r here. 37/m
Hello, have gone into AFIB twice in 7 years after vomiting each time and have asymptomatic WPW. Both situations were 4 days/3 nights in the ER, converted via Amiodaron. Structural wise, everything is fine with my heart - and my cardio and i went with Flecainide PIP method. Otherwise, I have no issues day to day other than these two episodes.
I remember being so scared the first time, but this time took the cake. I suffer from extreme anxiety which causes nausea... Now I'm stuck in a loop when I get anxious, like I want to throw up, but I know I may go info AFIB now. How have others dealt with post-discharge anxiety, and does this happen with anyone else here?
EDIT: I think also a lot of my anxiety stems from knowing how much stress and burden I also am putting on others when in the hospital.
