If you experience this, you're unlikely to be passed.
.....until there's been some further investigation!

Let's not frighten everyone, Eddy.

Passing on what was suggested to me. Isn't it good to go in there armed with the facts?!

Just to say that I'm in a pretty similar position having had episodes of Atrial Fibrillation (AF)... which I understand is caused by redundant but overactive nerves in the left atrium. The 'heat waves' treatment is what I'm hoping for / waiting for at the moment.... more properly called Catheter Ablation which involves using RF energy to kill the nerve cells using a wire introduced into the heart via a vein.

I have been diagnosed with Atrial Flutter 12 months ago. Normal resting pulse of 60bpm shot up to 120. The only way they could reset the sinus rythm was with Electro Cardioversion. All OK for 12 months and the condition has re occured. I'm booked into hospital next Monday for a Cardiac Ablation procedure. Needless to say, license is suspended.
