7 weeks post second ablation and still ectopic?

This is my second ablation. I am in my 7th week and still having episodes. Wondering if maybe this one didn’t work. Anyone else?

Still early days Blondies....as you will see from the AF Association (link below) it takes anywhere between 3 to 6 months for scar tissue to heal which is why EP's are tending to carry out their first review after six months. Check out Dr Sanjay Gupta's YouTube video where I think he suggests Magnesium Taurate helps with ectopics. I tried it and it worked for me!

Thank you.

sorry I am a bit confused, the title says ectopics and the post says episodes. Episodes of ectopics or AF?

If it's AF, then it's still the blanking period, so try not to worry, it only makes things worse

If it's ectopics, then I have them pretty much every day 18 months post ablation, but they are harmless (but annoying) and they are not AF, so it's something i'm happy to live with

Thank you for your reply. I had my recent, second ablation in another state and I am not totally sure what I am feeling. My local cardio doc has me on flecianide (spelling?) and it helps a bit. Ridiculous to not know what I am experiencing but the first ablation wasn't this difficult.
