6 months post 3rd ablation,

not doing to bad, still in normal rhythm, pulse is around 56 to 58, had check up after 4 months and cardiologist said ECG looks good,

getting extra beats or missed beats more in the evening after a big meal or when i lie down, there a bit scary but cardiologist said they would go graduly.

still on 40 mg of sotalol till my next check up in 6 months, breathing is good now can run up stairs with out breathing much, so pleased so far, so hope i stay in NSR, will post again in 3 months

May I ask when was your first ablation?

1st Ablation Feb 2017, 2nd march 2018, 3rd Feb 2019, all so 3 cardiovertions prior to Ablations, But i had AF for probably 10 years and it was 24/7. EP wasnt very confident in getting me back in NSR. probably thats why it took 3 Ablations

I really hope it gets sorted this time 🙏🏼 can I just asked we’re you getting any skip beats or extra beats after your first two abalations and how about now if you eat a small meal do you get them than?

HiOnly take 20mg morning and evening, seems to work for me,

No side affects I know about,

I ve herd it's banned in some country's.

They ought to ban amiodarone that messed my thyroid up.

Good luck
