Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I recently fainted while public speaking while experiencing a very rapid heartbeat for about an hour and was later diagnosed with atrial flutter as my heart rate had climbed to 140-160. I automatically converted back to about 80 bpm about an hour later at the hospital. I had a similar episode a year earlier. I am taking toprol, baby aspirin and losartan. I am also having a atrial ablation in 9 days. How do I overcome my fear of fainting again and should I refrain from any public speaking or anxiety producing situations until after my procedure?
