My Story
Saturday 8th Aug In 2015, I found out I had Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) Syndrome. This rare condition affects 0.1-0.3% of the population. Having WPW syndrome means there’s an extra pathway for my heartbeat to take and when that happens, it causes my heart to race. At 21 years old I found myself in a cardiologist’s office waiting to find out what comes next. While this isn’t typically a life threatening condition, I made the decision to have an ablation procedure to burn the extra pathway. The first procedure was unsuccessful so a month later I went in again for round two. This is not what I was expecting to be dealing with during my final year of my undergrad but we made the best of it.ÂHeart conditions don’t always announce themselves which is why it’s important to take heart health seriously. Get checked. If something feels off, trust your gut. If you have family history of heart disease, please get checked.Â
