Almost three months post ablation and feeling much much better!

[Lynnvh]

After so many of you encouraging me in the first unexpected couple of rough weeks post ablation, I am happy to say I am feeling better than I have in a few years. It's taking a bit to rebuild my stamina, but ticker is ticking happily, dizziness and shortness of breath from irregular rhythms are a thing of the past. Looking forward to continued improved health with a determined course of good food, minimized alcohol consumption and exercise. Mostly just getting out walking and talking with a friend or two is the best medicine of all.

Love to all!

Lynn

Wonderful news to hear! If you wish to share your Patient Journey - then please contact the AF Association on [e-mail] - we are always happy to hear a success story !!

[CDreamer in reply to TracyAdmin]

What about the not so successful ones?

[Sfhmgusa in reply to CDreamer]

I think the less successful ones are present here in the forum , possibly in disproportionate numbers.

Having had one ablation that made things worse and a second that seems to have worked ,I check the forum a bit less despite having made a promise to myself if it did work I would try to keep contributing.

I am at last starting to Stop checking my pulse regularly, and ( silly superstition) still am nervous saying that my second procedure has worked... in case it tempts fate. So it would be easy to drift away if the af has

Similar experience. The first made things worse, the second helped and no AF for 3 years but suffered from affects of the sedation and anaesthesia drugs.

I just think there needs to be balance in all things.

Lovely to hear!

Good news and encouraging for others about to embark on this. Remember though listen to your body, and still don’t overdo things. Onwards and upwards eh!

It can take some time to settle down post ablation and I really hope it works long term for you. It is indeed good news that all is well now but build up your strength and stamina carefully. Always great to have good news.

Glad to hear it Lynnv.

Great news. Look after yourself sensibly but don’t overdo it. It took 5 months for my various bumps to recede after 2013 ablation and almost a year for resting heart beat to return to normal. More than 7 years of NSR.

Are you in US? If so, please tell me where you went. Looking hard at ablation #2

I'm in Canada...had to wait 1.5 years to get procedure after deciding to go ahead. Good and bad of public health
