AFib getting better but not the symptoms?

About 9 weeks ago I went into AFib for the 4th time. I await a telephone consultation with Barts. The strange thing is my iWatch now says I’m mainly in Sinus rhythm. This has never happened before as each time I’ve needed an ablation. Seems like good news, however I still have the same old symptoms. I’ve been on Bisoprolol but stopped them recently as they made no difference.

Any thoughts as to what might be happening?

I think you mean cardioversion ? To restore sinus rhythm.

No, I’m not sure what you mean. I’ve also had 2 cardioversions?

My question is that my AFib symptoms and ECG readings on my iWatch seem to be diminishing. This has never happened before and each time I’ve needed an ablation. The symptoms however (lack of any energy, breathing etc.) are still with me. What’s happening? Is this a different kind of Arythmia?

Sorry, it’s just unusual for people to go straight to an ablation from persistent AF and you didn’t give much detail. Sounds like good news though, you’d hope three ablations would have had some effect?

What are the symptom? I often get symptoms without AF and put it down to the LBBB that I also have, as this causes bradycardia.
