Hi guys me again,
My dad has AF - dont ask me to write its full name!
Basically his heart isn't functioning properly in one part, the beat is irregular.
The doctors say its quite a common condition, they've tried to stabilise it with pills but that didnt work so tomorrow he's having cardioversion which is basically stopping the heart and re-starting with electric paddles. They say its a general procedure that happens all the time but because of my health anxiety I'm quite anxious.
Any words of reassurance?
