What To Expect

I'm new here and Hello all. My AICD implant fired 3 times in 30 minutes. 2x in the car going to ER and 1x in ER. Was placed in ICU with amioderone plus propofenone drip. Upon release 4 days thereafter, am taking pill form now (225mg and 200mg) respectively for 30 days and was told the meds will be cut back. What happens after this 30 day period? Was already taking carvedilol along with entresto before this recent incident. EP is advising against catheter ablation at the moment. Please can someone advise and share their good thoughts.

Aika there are a very few members here with ICDs who may be able to comment but do remember that we are not medically trained so should not advise. You could search ICDs on the top right box.
