Yes I'm really feeling great. It's been 8 weeks since the ablation and 5 weeks now since I've had an attack and I'm off my heart rhythm meds (just ran out and didn't refill). Things are looking very positive for the outcome of this ablation.
That's really good news. I hope things continue like this.
Your experience is making me think that I might speak to my EP about having one.
I was referred by my local cardiologist two and a half years ago when I was diagnosed, at that time he advised that as I was 'well' I should just stay on Verapamil. However, he did say that if ever I changed my mind for any reason ( deterioration or tired of being on meds) he would perform an ablation.
I have never had another episode and am very well but now that I am 66 I am starting on Warfarin, so the list of medication is growing. Through you and research I have realised that my AF will not go away and will get worse, so what is the point of waiting for that to happen if the offer is there and it could all be gone?
