I telephoned the British Heart Foundation Helpline today to ask about Arterial Fibrillation which is the condition that I have. As I am going into hospital to have it rectified tomorrow I thought I would get a different view point from the BHF. They were excellent. They told me what the hospital should have been telling me. I explained that I kept hearing emotive language like 'shocking the heart' and so on, and the BHF confirmed that unfortunately this was common language in hospitals, but it is all very mild and very safe which is all I wanted to know. They were so re-assuring. I can't praise them enough for this service.
At least I can face tomorrow with a more positive outlook now.
