What downside have you experienced after an ablation?
I am 69 and have had an abib episodes every 2 months for a year; otherwise, I am healthy. I am approaching a decision to have an ablation and am assessing Pulsed Field Ablation vs. RF ablation and general anesthesia vs. deep sedation. I would love to know if you have experienced side effects such as tiredness, Hemolysis, Cardiac spasm, Gastric issues, Other. Have you tried to take medications such as Flacainade instead of having an ablation?
Thank you so much!

I had 12 hours worth of abalation, 3x, orginally for flutter, rapid heart beat and irregular heart beat. I was cured for 3 years then the flutter came back. But it didn't really bother me. So, my cardiologist advised me to just live with. Which I did. Eventually I had more problems and was diagonosed with venticular fillaration and tachycardia. I take Cordarone 200 mg as needed, this med absolutely works but has a lot of bad side effects. So, I am going to start taking Hawthorn Berries, which suposedly work veru well for irregular heart functions.
