Back in AF

[Brian101]

Oh well it was good while it lasted - my old mate AF kicked back in this morning. Must admit I'd forgotten how good normal rythym is but all is good only 16 days to go - hope the machine works this time

Oh no! What a bummer for you. As you said though, 16 days then hopefully NSR for a long, long time. The machine will work this time? Surely someone has learned the lesson of checking it out before trying it in a live situation? Take it easy x

[Brian101]

Yeh but I've got to look at the funny side - at least I got off digoxin and bisoprolol and am feeling better. Those few days in NSR were worth it

Hi Denise it was a brand new cryoablation machine - I had the whole procedure anaesthetic the lot and the machine decided to have a holiday. Not sure if I was the first but all the people in the theatre were all excited about the new machine.

How long has ablation worked for you. I am now in my 2nd year and to date all well. Wishing you all the very best. Beano 11

It was my 1st beano - cardio versions seem to only last a few days probably because my ticker is so used to AF that it thinks its normal

I guess you have to be optimistic in these situations- but at the same time, take a realistic view that AF can come back to us. I have at last been called up on Thursday, for initial assessment for cardioversion and the actual process on Saturday. I'm not holding my breath - but my normal optimism is shining through and hoping for a decent period of success. Here's hoping I come back with a cheerful message next time!

Best of luck x keep us posted when you can x

[Brian101 in reply to Dadog]

Yeh mate all will be good

[Brian101]

Funny isn't it - when I first went into AF I felt crap - then over time I adjusted and thought that was the norm. Then come the drugs and it was a battle working out whether it was the drugs or the AF that made me feel crap. Every time I ended in A & E ( which was so often I called my 2 nd home) I left either with a bigger dose of what I was on or another drug - no deletions.

It was so good to feel normal for those few days that I'm looking forward to the 4 December when it all happens again

Hi Brian - I know how you feel - was taken to hospital in Sept. with AF which had lasted 4 days!!! As I was going on holiday a week later - to say the least I was concerned!!Maybe it was seeing a great Doc or I relaxed due to the fact that I was in good hands it settled back to normal and was discharged AND went on holiday!!! But here we are again - 3 days before Christmas and ITS BACK. It is very difficult not to worry as we all know having AF increases the possibility of suffering from a stroke. I really do not need this now and will try to relax today and hope it will pass. Have a good Christmas and take care.. GIllyflower 13
