"recently been diagnosed with Atrial Flutter"

About: Craigavon Area Hospital / 1 North Cardiology

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

I have been just recently been diagnosed with Atrial Flutter. Having this condition makes my heart not go back to normal rhythm on its own, it happens for a short period of time, but is still a very serious thing so when I was first told this I was immediately scared and anxious as I didn’t expect it to be this bad. The staff were brilliant at helping me remain calm and have been reassuring me the whole way, just brilliant bunch of people there not one member of staff who I do not get along with as they have been helping me so much. I have been on this ward (1 North) for about two weeks now and have been receiving excellent care and attention from the staff. The care from doctor, nurses and health staff has been professional and second to none, they work so hard and I am grateful for what they are doing for me! At the moment I have to wait as I need a Cardioversion for it to return my heart to a normal rhythm. The staff have explained it all to me and answered all quires that I had, cannot say enough about the care I got and the brilliant staff that work in the hospital.

Hi Aoiyf36,

I am sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. This can be quite upsetting however it is a condition that can be treated.

Thank you for your kind comments. I have shared them with the nursing team. I am happy to hear you have had a good experience despite the diagnosis.

Kind regards

Stephen
