Hi i was admitted to hospital a few days ago (am home now) with chest pains I won't go into medical details but the cardiac doctor who saw me said they want to put me to sleep then deliberately shock me to bring my heart back into rhythm now I've always tried to avoid shocks so was wondering is this really a good idea? I know it's DC from a bank of condensers and not 50 cycle mains but all the same I'm not keen
I suffer from AF and had to be shocked back in to rhythm. I was sedated but awake. They told me that I wouldn’t remember much of the procedure but actually I remembered quite a bit. Still, I can reassure you that I felt no pain.
In the modern world we are often amazed at the technology all around us but pay scant regard to the miracle of technology that our body is. Perhaps if we became more aware of its wonders we would stop assaulting it in the way we often do.
in any event, I am sure that all will go well for you and I wish you a speedy recovery, oh, and keep the posts coming!
