2 days after flutter ablation

[Guest guest]

Happy Mother's Day to all. 2 days after my flutter ablation. No afib, no

flutter, though frequent pac's, especially if I'm active, but everything settles

back to NSR when I stop and rest. Hoping this is just the post ablation

agitation like last time. Well, of course it is. It's just hard to be patient.

It took about a week after the " big " ablation (13 days ago) before things

settled. But then, that's when the flutter kicked in. I'm wondering if some of

the pac frequency is related to my general (lack of) conditioning, since I've

been avoiding exercise for so long with my afib. Must get myself back into

shape. I remember that before afib became a big problem that the better

condition I was in (the more regular exercise I had gotten) the less frequent

were my bouts of pac's and (what I presume was) afib. Hope it will help. If

anyone has any experience in this arena, please let me know. Specifically, how

did you get back in shape? Any particular exercise regimen or schedule? Thanks.

Lester - Sounds like the second procedure was a charm.

Congratulations and thank you for telling us about everything. This

makes it all easier to think about when we have vicariously " enjoyed "

your experiences.

I like to use the elliptical machine in the gym. You can set the

resistance and the slope. And it is not hard on the knees or hip

joints - not at all like pounding away on a treadmill. I wear an

inexpensive heart rate monitor just to keep track of how I am doing

and so as not to push myself too hard.

Keep us posted! Phyllis (formerly of Atlanta, formerly at GSU)
