A few weeks after my third ablation I was stuck in AF and needed a cardioversion. It was that ablation that helped me most.

Yep, I was disappointed to have had repeated AF and tachycardia problems throughout the first three months after my ablation. The last one of those lasted nearly 70 hours and I spent 16 hours on a trolley in A&E.

I now feel lucky not to have had a repeat of any kind in the last two months. Fingers crossed!

I had a few episodes during the 3-month blanking period after my April ablation, then one at one-week after that (caused by trauma from breaking my wrist), but all's well now.
