Hi vpmusic! I am wondering who you see in Orlando. I now see Dr Parikh at Central Fl cardiology group, and if I need another ablation I will have him do it. He did not do the first four. Amiodorone is a strong med for the first try, but of course if you trust your doc then I would do as they say. Ablation does seem like a very fast decision, from my personal experience looking back I wish I had known ablation is not always a one and done deal, it certainly started me on a different path. I’m still on meds after 4, and ironically did the first one to get off medication! It’s a tricky situation, I am sorry you are going through this! Let me know what you do, maybe a second opinion would be an option?

Wow! 4 ablasions… Thank you for sharing your experience and for sharing your wisdom. In the hospital they referred me to Dr. Cesar Bonilla Isaza, EP. Saw his PAC once and the Dr. once. I know Amiodarone is a drug of last resort. Was told if I get off it that I would end up in the hospital with break thru episodes. It was mentioned that the earlier the Ablasion the better chance of success. As for a second opinion, my PCP sent a referral to Mayo Clinic, Rochester.. I am still waiting to hear. Praying they take me as I’ve had three successful surgeries there. Awesome experiences.
