Well done, long may it last. Mine was 11 years still no AF. Just developed atrial tachycardia instead.

That’s great news Higgy, just what I need to hear as I’m on the list for my third ablation. I hope that you stay well.

Hi Higgy52. I am three months behind you for third ablation. I tried to get off Propafenone 300mg x 2 at 10 months but stayed only 6 days in sinus when AF hit. I immediately took Propafenone and was back in sinus in 4 hours. I have continued to take Propafenone. Are you on any anti- rhythmic pills?
