I have AF, I have had 2 ablations and 1 cardio conversion. At this time I have flutter versus fibulation. I went to Dr. today because I am very fatigued, cannot walk very far. He wants me to have a third ablation next week. I believe it is the right side of the heart. I truly don't know what to do.

If the doctor suggests an ablation you should take his advice.
Flutter ablation is in the right atrium and is far less intrusive and is with less risk than AF ablation which is done in the left atrium.
I have had 4 AF ablations one which also included a Flutter ablation. In addition I have had 1 Flutter ablation.
Whilst a long procedure ablation is normally one of the best remedies for AF.

My third cured me. If offered why risk not taking it.
I've had two ablation sand now 6 months post my second I have AFib episodes when stressed too much. In particular I am find exercise that is not very moderate brings on AFib. I am having ectopic s daily. I am discussing a third ablation with my EP next week. I have been advised that a third requires a real expert on 3 rd ablation as it is quite complex. I have loan AF but will be going for the ablation. Anyone have any other thoughts on 3 rd ablation.
