the big day has arrived.... (wednesday!!!)

i too have been through a barrage of tests to try and ascertain what is causing an abnormal looking ecg. after talking with the specialist in april, it seems that it is likely that it is nothing, just an individuality! however, as i am ready to begin my ab initio CPL, (after having saved for years!!!), the only way he will be able to tell for sure is to try and stimulate an arythmia. he is going to get me ready for the ablation and then see if i have the/a condition and that way if i do he can fix it then and there.

i am keen as because this is the only thing holding me back from me starting my training. he says that after this he will be able to say definitively if i have a condition.

not sure if this sounds right and i haven't had a second opinion, but even if i end up with a pace maker, to me it is worth the risk if i means i can fly! (obviously i can't with a pace maker) any doc's or electrophysiocardiologists out there want to throw in there 2 cents???

Cheers
