After Ablation rogue Af links

Hi there!

Advice after two failed ablations 15 years ago, a successful ablation 9 years ago then two weeks old successful ablation. Last one I did not have any episodes of eptopic beats or AF at all till last year! This time I keep getting eptopic beats and three lots of AF episodes within two weeks!

My question is? do I need to pop a pill like flecinide to stop the AF in its tracks as I read on here the other week that longer than three hours it can cause rogue links leading to AF again which will be a nightmare again for me! Is there any proof it can cause rogue links again? Steve

I have had PIP since my ablation. 21 pills laster me 3 years. Prior to that I was on pills everyday.

I still take anticoagulants, but my meds are now back up to what they were pre ablation.

But BobD is right, we are not Drs and cant advise you. Go see your GP.....
