I had a Hybrid Ablation in 2 stages (1) Nov 14 & (2) in June 15. Since then I’ve been AF free..............until last month, when my & I went on holiday to Tenerife. Our Appartment in the Hollywood Mirage, is on what is referred locally as Cardiac Hill. Although there’s a free bus down in town, and me really feeling free, we decided that we would walk back from town. The way we chose was up a series of steps. We did this every other day, but on the 3rd or 4th day , bearing in mind, it was hot, I noticed I got really breathless. Needless to say we didn’t do this again. When we got home, was getting breathless on exertion . I went to the GP , had a EGC, which showed I was in Atrial Flutter, and was to be referred to my Cardiologist. After speaking to the Arythmia Team, I’m back in Rivaroxaban, and my Bisoprolol has increased to 7.5 daily. When I’m really coagulated in 4 weeks they contemplating Cardio Version."..............................
....................I guess the point of this is ,to remember how 3 years I was given my life back, and I’ve blown it by being stupid in thinking myself that I’m free of AF forever ????????????
