Hiya I’m 22F and from the UK and was diagnosed with WPW in early March, I am supposed to have my Echo in June and my 24hr tap/holter in July and my cardiology appointment in October.
Wpw has affected my life so much more than I thought it was going to like very slight changes in posture can trigger palpitations etc and I have the feeling before collapse a few times a week.
Now to get to my question - my mum lives in America and said she can get me really good insurance (something like PPO United health care IMG or something?), she has said that if I visit from the 20th-30th May and go to Tampa General Hospital ER and then call the EP people there then I can get an ablation within the ten days I’d be staying there so I just wanted to ask if this is feasible?
Currently I live alone and can’t really walk to the shops without feeling like I’m going to collapse so sustaining myself has been quite hard and my local hospital can’t really do much for me so I’m just generally asking for advice, is this feasible? October is a long time away and that isn’t even an ablation :(
(For context I’ve been collapsing for the last 6 years)
I’ve also not been offered an ablation yet so I’m scared they aren’t going to but living alone with no one around me is so scary atm idk :(
