MVR & RF ablation

[Guest guest]

I had the above surgery on 21st Nov. The ablation has not worked and

now the awareness of the AF is far worse than it was previously. I

know I can get used to the clicking of the mechanical valve but I

don't believe I could get used to the new, louder, more vibrating AF.

Has anyone else had a similar experience. Right now I am waiting for

my 6-8 week check-up when I will ask the consultant if there is any

medical treatment that would help. Can anyone give me words of

encouragement? When I told the surgeon how disappointed I was he was

annoyed and mentioned that we would not know for twelve weeks but

this was not mentioned in any of my research. After valve surgery

everyone in the ward seemed to be on amiodarone But I could not

tolerate the headache that went with this drug. Any

comments/information much appreciated.
