Is it okay to go on roller coasters if you have WPW?

Depends on how fast your heart will go if the roller coaster triggers
atrial fibrillation.

My family and i are supposed to go to a theme park next week and I LOVE
the big rides. I do not want to put myself in danger though.

Would suggest you take it easy while you are having symptoms.

Thanks again in advance.

You are welcome, Janell :-)
