That's just what happened to me. The episodes became so frequent that they were drastically affecting my life. Flecainide was having little or no effect so, although I was very anxious about it, I had PVI ablation. It turned my life around. No more AF, no more Flecainide and no more Bisoprolol. Absolutely worth doing.

It's really helpful when the AF gets worse before your ablation and sweeps away all the doubts about perhaps being able to cope with it and not bothering to take the plunge.

Here's hoping it will change your life significantly for the better.  I found it scary but it has been a nettle well worth grasping.  All the best!

Hi Mazza. I'm having my ablation today and feeling apprehensive, but had an episode of af last night. Only lasted 30 minutes, but a timely reminder why I'm having it done! All the best to you. Jean.
