Hi all

Not posted for 6 months or more,

had my Ablation just under 3 years ago, my 3rd one, about a year ago i thought i was back in AF but had ECG and Doctor said no its a bit of flutter and upped my Sotalol from 40 mg a day to 80 mg , and Heart was back to normal so cut back down to 40mg, was sent for ultra sound scan, got results and got enlarged heart and leaky valve,

Im 65 now but feeling okay, and Sill working, Glad i had the Ablations

Pleased to hear that you're doing well. I have a slightly enlarged heart and slightly leaky mitral valve but I don't think either cause me any problems. Hope you stay well now.
