My flutter is what started my A-fib. After fixing my flutter the EP says the good news is you flutter is gone the bad news is you have A-fib in your future.
So a few years later A-fib became a problem and then I had an ablation in 2019.
The past 6 months I have had 6 episodes a F-fib lasting a couple of days each and then self converting. Then this past Jan I had a full month alternating PACs, PVCs and SVTs that was not fun. For couple of weeks my burden seemed to be rather high but I could still carefully get some exercise in even if skippy was acting up. Then it started to improve esp. at night time I could get down to my normal baseline resting HR of 48. Yes 48 my whole life. In the meantime I got an appointment for Feb 13 which at that time was a month off. So last night I wake up to use the bathroom and I am back in A-fib without all the PVCs, PACs and SVTs. Just good old A-fib that wipes me out and I cannot do a thing. So I will see them Tuesday and will have to drive home just how bad things have been. So I am beating away a 84 BPM and I hate it. I noticed on their new website (large university medical center) they now claim a 90% A-fib success rate on the 1st attempt. I am glad I changed my oil last week and got a little firewood cut cause right now I am weak. Just turned 76.
