Ablation 8/10 and still afib'ing

[Guest guest]

I joined the group today and wish I had know about all of you a long

time ago.

Had an ablation done on 8/10 at Emory Crawford Long Hospital in

Atlanta. Was told not to expect miracles overnight but the DR

insisted that I was an ideal candidate....and I tried to share his

optimism.

Well here it is 2 weeks and 3 days later, am still on my old dose of

flecainide (wasn't controlling the AFIB before and is still not

helping). I can remember 2 whole days in this period of time when I

felt wonderful. Other than that, grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I was home from work yesterday with a 5 1/2 hour episode. Was

actually scheduled for a 1pm cardioversion until things settled down

at 11am. Am in AFIB as I write this.

The DR is now adding a 2x per day dose of diltiazem (30mg each). I'm

starting to feel like a drug addict. Can anyone tell I'm very

frustrated?
