Sending positive thoughts and prayers for a speedy and safe recovery for both of you. It is scary but it needs to be done. Much luck.

Please read Philipians 4:6-7

I have trusted this for 18 years during my husband's cardiac illnesses. I still trust what is in store for me as I trust Him and ask for supplication.

My husband is having that procedure where they stop and start the heart. I am terrified !! I am so uneasy about it. He says he is fine about it and it will be okay. Haven't told him my feelings. And I won't. I am having troubles sleeping, I hear him call for me a couple of times a night.But he is always sleeping when I check on him.I feel like I'm going to have a nervous break-down. So could you send some prayers my way also. Thank-You In advance.Does anyone know how long he may feel normal from this, and also does it burn your skin. Not knowing if they use paddles, or is it done with some sort of shot. We don't talk about it.

@BeccaLou

My son had this procedure many times, many years ago .it went well and he was up and around quickly. I know how worried you are as was I. He will be just fine.

I think they use electrodes to stop the heart and then restart it.

No it does not burn your skin.

Stopping and starting the heart has become very common nowadays.

Sending many prayers your way.

Years ago, I had to take a friend for by-pass surgery. Fortunately, we were both able to meet with the surgeon prior to the surgery. I went armed with a list of questions (my friend relied on me to ask everything, but we both heard all the answers as the same time.). Worked out very well for us to know pretty much what to expect in advance.

Prayers up for your husband, @BeccaLou, and for you to have some peace about this, as difficult as it is. Here's to a thorough and safe recovery. Please keep us posted if you can.

@BeccaLou, I am sure you did your due diligence and made sure that the hospital you chose and the surgeon does these procedures frequently with good outcomes. After that, you just have to have faith in his surgeon.

So much progress has been made with heart procedures that what seems complicated to us, is just an ordinary procedure for skilled surgeons.

I have had cardioversion 2 times where they stop and re-start your heart because of tachycardia. Dr. does not feel abalation is necessary at this time. Thank goodness. Medication to stop the heart is given through IV and you feel like you are going to faint when your heart stops. But the feeling only lasts about 10 seconds and you feel back to normal. Dr. said patients always say it is an unpleasant feeling, but fortunately only for a very brief time. Heart goes back to normal rhythm and I feel like nothing happened.

Prayers are sent for your husband and for you. You have not said what his condition is but the stop/start procedure should be the same. There is nothing to burn your skin, it is only medication through an IV. Please do not overworry. Of course we are anxious when something involves the heart, but the cardioversation procedure is painless (except for the 10 second wierd feeling). It would have been so easy for the doctor to have explained the procedure to you so you would not have been so scared. Perhaps he did explain it to your husband, since you haven't talked about it with your husband, might be a good idea to ask him so you do not have to worry.
