Heart Treatment in India

Sneha Ali, a 42-year-old single mother...

Sneha Ali, a 42-year-old single mother and high school teacher, had always been the picture of health. However, for the past six months, she experienced crushing fatigue and a persistent, uncomfortable fluttering in her chest, especially when grading papers late at night. She dismissed it as stress and caffeine, until one afternoon during a parent-teacher conference, she felt a sharp, sudden pain in her chest and nearly fainted. Rushed to the ER, an ECG revealed she had Atrial Fibrillation (AFib). Her cardiologist, Dr. Mehta, explained that her heart's upper chambers were quivering erratically, increasing her risk of stroke. He recommended a cardiac ablation, a procedure to scar the tiny areas of heart tissue causing the irregular signals. Terrified of any procedure involving her heart and worried about taking time off work for her two young children, Sneha reluctantly agreed. The ablation itself, done under sedation, was painless. The recovery involved a night in the hospital with mild chest discomfort. Within a week, the debilitating fatigue was gone. The constant, anxious monitoring of her own heartbeat ceased. She felt a profound sense of relief and regained energy, allowing her to be fully present for her students and her children without the shadow of fear.
