So here we go again…(well sort of)

So the Flutter ablation worked perfectly in 2018, save for triggering the Fibrillation. The catheter cardioversion fixed that three weeks later and then things were perfect until September 2019. Flecainide kept things completely clear until this year when I have had half a dozen short lived episodes, stopped with additional Flecainide to the daily 100 mg. Apparently best to ablate when incidents still rare so thank you BUPA and hopefully will be done in October. My superb cardiologist Richard Till at the Norfolk and Norwich is optimistic about an 80% chance of sorting it, only difference this time it will be under a GA as opposed to the awesome Medazilan I had last time. Will let everyone know how it goes. Also had the fun of an MRi the day after on my brain because of migraines and found so much loose change I had lost and a set of keys 😂 And to my surprise a normal brain!

I had similar at Leicester in 2019 but under a general anaesthetic. Best of luck!

Excellent- so I am having a GA too as it takes longer than a flutter “burn” and he is going to sort out any ectopics at the same time…I will be a new man 😂

Let’s hope so! I was warned that the flutter op could bring about afib eventually. Such is life!
