hi all, hope everyone is good. It’s been nearly nine months now since ablation. Overall I’ve been good but I still get a lot of HHR, usually linked with stress which for me is a constant battle but I’m trying my best to deal with it. Had a bad day yesterday with HHR and chest pains also had a lot of burping type thing going on , not sure if that’s indigestion , was a bit scared as stress was too much yesterday and am constantly worried if I will have a heart attack. I also get HHR a lot if I eat anything with sweeteners or any other rubbish in it. Anyway sorry for waffling on.

If you have any concerns have a little chat with your GP for a little bit of reassurance, I am sure your doing fine but you may need to concentrate on a few relaxation techniques and watch what your eating. I thing your GP will be able to help on both counts. Meanwhile relax and assure yourself that at least you have had no more AF episodes. All the best !

Oh dear, stress is horrible and begets af in me too. Can you try to manage it as stoneyrosed says? I find mindfulness helps a lot, and I've cut out most artificial additives in my food, caffeine and sugar which has helped. Lifestyle seems to play a big part in combating af generally as does dep breathing. Best of luck.

Thank you, I do meditate, walk, read and other things but unfortunately for me I’m stuck with a narcissist at the minute so it’s hard.
