Re: Reoccurance of A-Fib after Ablation

[Guest guest]

YOU bet!! afib begets afib and Sinus begets sinus. , Ease up on the

marathons for a while ( a year or more prob) Remember there is a lot

of theory out there that suggests afib is predisposed in many people

naturally ... Afib is an opportunist and may wait for a serious

illness or usual stress on the body to make a full return and more.

So ease up for gods sake. Eat right, walk don't run.

Mark:

I've had exactly the same experiences. Five weeks after my second ablation,

and into moderate physical cardio-monitored

exercises, I went into a-flutter. The a-flutter stayed with me for a day

and a half and then disappeared. I was mightily

displeased. (This followed a three-week post ablation in and out

a-flutter/racing heart.) All this, I was told, was in the

" normal " range and might mean that my meds should be altered. Then, I've

been in NSR for nine days now, and ready to

attempt so more " moderate " exercises. I personally think that you and I may

have " overdone " the exercising, so I am

going to take a more moderate course. I like being in NSR too much to want

to jiggle with it.

Interesting story Mark. I have atrial flutter and am scheduled to

have an ablation in a few weeks. From what my EP has told me the a

flutter is eminently more " curable " than the A fib. He answered all

my questions to my satisfaction. Says that the doctors that perform

the ablations where i live have been doing about 150 per year for

the past 5 years or so which means they've done over 750 of them.

My symptoms have literally disappeared while I'm on 25mg of Toprol

per day but if I can get rid of the meds that'd be great because I

don't want to take beta blockers for the next 50 years (I'm in my

30's). He said that after the ablation I'll just take a baby

aspirin a day and that's it. No follow ups except as my symptoms

warrant. They have over 90% success rate with the ablations here.

Keeping my fingers crossed..

Ken,

Where are you having your ablation done? Who's the EP/Dr.
