A Fib after an A V node ablation

I just found out I'm having A Fib 90% of the time 4 months after my A V Node ablation. I'm still light headed and tired all the time. I don't know what to do next. Is this the way I have to live now. I'm 74 and very depressed and confused.

Pacemaker and AV node ablation will not stop AF which can continue in the left atrium. The pacemaker should be managing the left ventricle so your heart beat should be regular and stable. Maybe discuss with the pacing clinic regarding settings?

Agree with Bob. Your pacemaker should be controlling your symptoms, even though your AF will continue.
