| Personal comments | Last year my doctor wanted me to have an ablation after the V-Tach episode, but we decided to try one more med.
I was fine for almost 7 months [my attacks were mild and only lasted for a few minutes] than all of a sudden my attacks changed, and I have been in the hospital 3 times this year. |
