2 weeks post 2nd ablation and still in NSR

hi All

just to give you all an update that I had my 2nd ablation 10 days ago and I’m still in NSR .

I’m obviously not counting my chickens this early but 10 days in NSR is the longest I’ve been in NSR for 18 months .

my groin only has bruising the size of a 50p piece .

I feel great and all is well . I’m still chilling and looking to have 3 weeks off work just to make sure .

If anyone has any questions then olease ask away

thanks

matt

Good news Matt. Three weeks is wise.

In answer to your other question, from our point of view the problem is that success stories seldom return here so long term data is hard to find.

In terms of what doctors think, five years AF free is considered a success. My 11 plus years must be good then but it must also be admitted that I have had other arrhythmias more recently needing treatment.

The point about QOL is that AF is not normally life threatening hence treatment is only for quaility of life. OK there may have been a few peoeple die from AF but those I have heard of resulted from abuse such as trying to run a marathon whilst in AF or similar . Hope that helps.

Just seems mad that we end up in NSR but can have no peace or be given odds of chances of it’s return , we live life on the edge everyday that it might be today it comes back.Phyco logically the hardest thing to deal with

The hardest thing about having AF us it's unpredictability. For some of us, if we do not find a way of dealing with that, it can make life miserable. I'd recommend attending the virtual conference in October. There were some nice presentations about anxiety and dealing with it last year. You might find it helpful.

Hi Mark,

I'm 4 days on from what my EP described as a hugely successful cryoablation. I'm coming in and out of NSR interspersed with periods of very mild AFib. Today has been my first full day of NSR. Hoping this is the start of good things but my EP warned that he thinks the first 2-3 weeks will be full of ups and downs.

I'm signed off work for 3 weeks too.
