Flutter and Heart beat

[higgy52]

Booked in for my third Ablation for flutter, EP has put me on Sotolol 40 mg,

Heart beat is around 50 to 55, then every week to ten days i seem to get a few thuds in chest then heart shoots up to 150 beats a min, then it gradually slows down again over the next week the thing is when my heart rate is 50 ish i still feels a bit fluttery.

so can i have a normal heart rate of 55 bpm and still have a wobble in heart or flutter

Hi higgy52, when were you’re other 2 ablations? And did they work for a while?

[higgy52 in reply to Kaz747]

hi Kaz,

First Ablation for Af feb 2017, only in nsr for a few days on and off, 2nd Ablation for Flutter march this year stayed in normal rhythm for 3 months then started to get flutter back, E P said some time the skin is thick so they need to do a bit more burning

Thanks, I’ve had 3 ablations - Jan and June last year for SVTs and then this year I developed Flutter and AF so had an ablation for both in September. I managed 1 day in NSR and have had daily episodes since, as well as a lot of inflammation. I’m now on more drugs than ever (320mg Sotalol & 187.5 mcg Digoxin) but it’s still out of control. Looking forward to feeling normal again one day 😄

There is plenty of time for it to calm down if you only had ablation in sept, keep us updated, good luck
