Hi everyone, it has been a little while since I have posted. I have been trying to figure out things. My sinus node or the nerves on the outside of the heart has came back causing me multiple issues like more heart rates of 130 so they are going to do a sinus node ablation aug 5th. I thought I would do a little research on my own and had all my records faxed to the mayo to see if they thought they could help me if this ablation didn't work. The EP dr's response was he thinks this is being caused by my autonomic system and that their may not be a lot that can help me. I have also started to have more problems with blood pressure and sometimes when I go from outside when its warm out to inside to air condition it makes my heart rate go high and I get very dizzy. Sometimes I will be fine then all of a sudden get woozy then I break out into a cold swet which also makes my heart rate go up.

I have once thought that if the mayo clinic cannot not "fix" you then you probably can't be fixed. I did have one of the nurses from the mayo ask if I had heard of a sympathic nerve block of the sinus node. Has anyone ever heard of that? I know last year they ablated some nerves on the outside of the heart but not sure if it was a nerve block.

I have continued to lose atrial pacing in my top chamber so it will be interesting to see what they find when they do my surgery. Any thoughts or comments would be great!
