Thanks for posting that. Good to hear of a positive outcome. I had a radio frequency ablation yesterday so pleased to hear of your success. The risks are potentially frightening but the benefits are tremendous. I'm looking forward to doing some exercise in due course!

Oh good..hope it went well and you are feeling ok ?...i took it easy 1 month..but i walked everyday....and slowly built up..take care

What does your cardiologist think..?..did you have paroxysmal af?

[181021832834]

Sorry to hear your problems..i think you must go to the nearest doctor or hospital and have a check up .. paroxysmal means individual episodes..it means it is not persistent..

Good luck

Gosh I wish cardiologist had suggested that to me but had cardioversion and within 2 weeks back in AF. I wish she had suggested that I’ve had to have a pacemaker in had it done 7 weeks today and it’s the MRI one which is big.

Hi..I haven't posted for a while..im 7months on.now post ablation...I can honestly say its the best thing I ever did..feel so much better and the psychological benefits are enormous too....I sort of feel cured..but of course I dont know that as you never know..however my left atria was enlarged before and had gone back to.normal size on.the scan 2 months later..amazing..I can breath better and my running has never been.better...hope this helps..believe me it took me over a year to decide to do it I was so scared..and now I would go and do it again without a thought...good luck
