Living with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome
in Health ·
I’m 36 now. Honestly, I’ve felt off for as long as I can remember. I was officially diagnosed back when I was 23, right after giving birth, and things have only trended downward since then—episodes happen more often and tend to drag on longer.
The panic attacks hit hard sometimes, especially when an episode lingers or keeps cycling back throughout the day, much like what I'm dealing with today.
I’ve been weighing the idea of radiofrequency ablation. I also have a mild case of pulmonary artery stenosis.
Most of my episodes are triggered by sudden movements, though fatigue and stress play a massive role too.
I know exactly how this feels.
Nine years ago, I went through a three-day hospital stay for syndrome testing. They spent those days intentionally triggering episodes under controlled conditions; it was pure misery, and for what? All they did was confirm what we already knew.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
It helps knowing someone else actually gets it.
Best,
