AF

[Robert185]

Thank you everyone for your replies and my ablation is on 9th October not August don't know why I put Aug.

My medication is 5 mg bisoprolol, 2.5 candesartan, 20mg omeprazole, 40 simvastatin and 20mg xarelto. I find AF is getting worse and bisoprolol does not seem to help.

Since I wrote post I have gone back into NR thank god.

So, nothing for the AF really Bisoprolol for rate only not rhythm. Af is almost always progressive. Hang in there I guessed you meant October. Not long now to a new way of life.

Best wishes

Thanks Bob. In your experience even if first ablation does not work can it improve symptoms?

Difficult question and whilst I don't want to worry you, my first actually made things slightly worse but then again it was progressing very rapidly when I went in so maybe it would have done anyway. Many people are sorted on the first procedure, many have an improved quality of life and a very few have complications and problems. Be positive is the best advice I can give. It got me through AF and it got me through prostate cancer.

Are you better now for having second or third procedure ?

No AF last seven years and worth every second. Probably could not have got through prostate cancer if I still had AF! Latest problem is arthritis but I'm a luccky so and so and will live with that.
