AFIB Return

[perkman]

After 1.5 years of being afib free after ablation I recently had several episodes of afib. They lasted a little over an hour a day apart. Then went a month afib free and had another short episode on Saturday.

Luckily I was scheduled for annual appt with my EP within 2 weeks of first episodes.

I caught the activity on my Kardia to confirm the afib. EP states reconnection of some points previously ablated and put me back on eliquis.

I was hoping for a 1 and done ablation but it didn't happen.

I am scheduled for a redo ablation Wednesday morning.

Wish me luck!

Wishing you all the best of luck!

So sorry that it’s come back but looks like you captured it really quickly and the timing meant you weren’t waiting around. Take good care and best wishes 😊

All the best perkman, not an unusual situation and a quick redo ablation is good route to take....

[perkman in reply to Hidden]

Thanks FlapJack.

can i ask if you're an alcohol drinker?

Was it a trigger pre first ablation?

And if so have you had the odd drink since?

Cheers,

[perkman in reply to Marcus30]

Alcohol is a trigger for me as is caffeine. I have an occasional light beer. 2 at the most anymore.

[Marcus30 in reply to perkman]

can I ask how often?

once a week or less?

And have you given up coffee?

(Coffee seems to be no problem for me, but not 100% sure, alcohol is but Im 6 weeks post 2nd ablation and just wondering what risk take with these things!)

looking to have 3 standard drinks per week (down from 25!)

Cheers,

Marcus

[perkman in reply to Marcus30]

Once a week would be ok but why not just give it up? The days of getting a buzz need to be gone.

Good Luck

[Marcus30 in reply to perkman]

Will definitely give it up if 1-2 a weeks still affects, but if not would still be good.

So you have 2 lights per week?

ill you continue that or are you going to give it away altogether now?

[perkman in reply to Marcus30]

I no longer drink alcohol.

[Appelonia]

I do wish you luck! How discouraging to find you must have another ablation. I hope this one takes care of the outliers & you can be afib free again.
