Maryland native Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Hi- I got cardiac ablation three months ago, and my frequency of afib episodes has gotten higher each month for the last three months. Before the procedure, I had afib about 15% of my time; now, it’s 60 - 70%. Despite beta blockers and anti- arrhythmia drugs, the slightest thing will put me into afib: reading aloud, shopping, being at a party. Sometimes, I feel my heart go into little spasms. I feel discouraged! Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markflint Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 What criteria did you have for selecting this EP? I ask because experience and a record of success are important. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
