To answer your questions:
1. My heart is in A-flutters all the time. From at least my teen years I had Wolfe-Parkinson-White Syndrome until 2008 when they finally ablated that. I had 27 other ablations to keep my heart from being in A-fibs. I had the AV nodal ablation in Feb. 2012 because medication was not controlling my heart rate.
2. Average blood pressure in the last ten days is 134/80 and today 128/80.
3. My heart rate is at 70 because of the pacemaker. I am pacemaker dependent.
4. I have never consulted a psychiatrist.
5. I don't know what comorbidities means.
