I have afib and have had it since last august and my life has been completely destroyed I'm 19 years old and I'm so terrified of dying and I barley even leave my house I want to get back to being normal I've had 2 ablations the 2nd time they said they are sure they got it but I still get terrible chest pains and just am so scared cause that traumatized me , this made me happy seeing him happy for him to think positive and never give up.
Did the 2nd cure you
ignore the comments about God. Whether or not you believe in God, the true power is with a doctors. They have developed techniques that can save our lives.the atrial fibrillation I have was solved by the intervention with catheter ablation. I was lucky that it worked the first time but sometimes it will take more than one time. But you will be okay. Medical technology nowadays makes it so.
Hey! Im 24, officially diagnosed with Afib when I was 23. But I've had episodes since I was 18, 19 or so. I've not had ablation yet, but I know what it feels like to live in fear like that . It too has destroyed a part of my life, but I have just come to terms that, it's what it is. Live your life still, don't let the sickness get in the way.
@@TheNeskvik78956123 holy crap, you're younger than me, 38 myself and I have had a couple afib episodes myself. Each a year apart. Bless you, stay strong and know you will be okay. If needed, I will look into ablation myself.
@@DesertRainReads bless you too!
What a brave young man! I am 65. I was diagnosed with afib January 2017. I was told that I had it for a long time. I did NOT know it. Evidently I was a symptomatic. I had delivered 3 babies natural childbirth. I was working as a nurse 12-16 hour shifts. All of the sudden, the rug was pulled out from under my feet. I had open heart surgery June 2017. I had 2 heart valves replaced and the MAZE procedure. It's been 3 months. My scar has healed. I am still in afib. God Bless you, Brandon! I hope you continue to do well!
Hi Guynelle,
Thank you for taking the time to watch this video and share your own experience with AFib. We’re so glad to hear you received the care you needed. We wish you the best and will always be here for you for anything you need. We’ll be sure to share your kind words about Brandon with his mother for her to pass along to him.
In good health,
Sharp HealthCare
I have and had a similar condition to Brandon. And I had a similar operation. I stand with him as a brother. We are brothers in our heart.
I am 38 myself, had my first afib episode last year and had a second one almost a year from there like two weeks ago. Haven't done an ablation yet, but if needed I will. Working on losing weight and getting back on track with a healthier lifestyle. This kid is amazing, and so is everyone else who is younger than me and living with this condition too. You have to live one day at a time, don't think about death or dying, but plan your future instead. It will all be okay.
How are you now?
Good morning! We forwarded your kind words to his mother for her to pass along to him. Thank you!
What a awesome young man He is and God bless
400 to 600 beats per minute!? Omg 😢 may God give u guys strength. Having benign palpitations is nothing compared to this. I now feel lucky but still scared.
... 😊.. In the exactly same condition at 35... With no life saving device within me...but m sure and determined to live as long as I can.. Because life is beautiful ❤️
I was diagnosed for Afib 2 years ago, I don’t take any medication for it. I live in fear. God bless young man!
Same here. I get skipped heartbeats and it's been really scary
@@MsLadyBluesWorld same
You could take natural supplements that take the place of some medications. A supplements that reduces arthymia is hawthorn. Ive also heard that berberine can work as a blood thinner. But you should also talk to a cardiologist about the meds.. try to avoid the ablation. Look for more natural means after such as strict diets and the supplements
@@mariuslives8250 thank you very much!
@@tesfay101 best of luck to you. I know there is a more natural way to heal this. I'm still dealing with arrhythmia, but the supplements and healthy eating have been helping, almost a little more than the ablation did.
I can't tell you how many times an RN has told me "Your to young to have Afib" and I just sit there like "No I'm not".
18 years old diagnosed with MVP and AFib. My life turned upside down after diagnosed with these. Yet I want to live so there's no turning back.
Hey man, how were u diagnosed? I had 3 ecgs and a 3 day holter monitor, they all came back clear. Though i still get palpitations they tell me its from anxiety, just wondering how u were diagnosed?
@@danielespejo375 Get a 6 Lead Kardia Mobile device. Record every time you feel something wrong and show ur doc. That’s how I got diagnosed
I can't watch the whole video
I just found out
I have the same heart condition and
this video is freaking me out!
🙏🙏🙏
I have a similar story I also have afib and can’t walk back up my flight of stairs after going down them, I get driven to my school bus stop now which is only a 5 min walk, I am constantly out of breath walking from class to class and it is scary!
god bless you with that attitude you will be alright i hope you have a happy long life
I am 28 and have had AFib for 2 years now he is so right you just can't think about death or it will consume you when God is ready to take us there is no fighting it his will is final.
Try magnesium
What is the symptoms of ur afib .I'm afib too diabetic 58 years old
Brave young man!
It sux i just turned 45 the 9th i have afib. Pain which i gave back, asthma, stimulants. Irritate it. Its depressing! I pray for him. I have an intravenous loop reader. I still get atrial flutter
When he walked up the stairs I felt like wtf are you doing man!?
Isn't it control by meds and ablation
Im sobbing… I’ve waited 5years to get rid of my demonic SVTs.. I was the same, all I think of is death and dying. I never leave my bed .. I’ve missed my girls grow up but I’m now like a vegetable. Im so scared and the depression is absolutely horrendous. I can’t imagine ever being normal again… 😢 😞
Hello Flight 101,
We are sorry to hear about your medical state. We recommend contacting your doctor if you have any rising concerns. You are not alone. Let us k ownif there is anything we can help you with.
Kindly,
Janice
it's hyperthropic cardiomyopathy, i think it's more dangerous than afib itself.
Why would they say afib then?
@@leona5508 it's part of the symptoms, probably
With this technology every day couldnt they find a cure for this problem 😔
They keep it for themselves
Its called a cardiac ablation
Learned I have afib. I’m only 17 years old.
For a fib you don’t need a defibrillator. He has something different.
Yeah, that is odd, they all, including the doctors are referring to A-fib. As far as I know you really need a defibrillator only for V-fib. Maybe his A-fib produces a V-fib after some while?
Yeah he got some crazy s***
I have had a fib since 2008 and this is 2017...I had an ablation like Brandon June 1, 2017 a month later July 2 2017 I had an a fib episode then proceeded to have another one in the same month on July 31. I feel worse since I had the ablation and wished I had never had it. I would never suggest another person to have one.
Marg Donley what happened with the surgery
Hello who did the surgery and which consultant
Marg Donley it’s a gamble. There is chance it won’t help and there is a chance it will cause more damage. That’s why I haven’t done it.
I've had two ablations. I'm 33. My first at 29 and second at 31. No more ablations for me. It didn't work the first or second time, not gonna see if 3rd is the charm.
Instead, I'm looking for natural remedies, such as healthy eating and supplements. Try stricly eating paleo, taking supplements to decrease arthymia and inflammation. Theres been some evidence to show that people with Afib likely have a leaky gut, if thats fixed, its more likely to decrease episodes.
@@thorstenmarquardt7274 i feel you. After my 2nd ablation, I just didn't feel the same when even compared to after my first one. Wish I would've never.
Get his magnesium checked
You okay Today bro please reply bro
