Thanks, teacher,

I want to add that the ablation procedure itself was easy-peasy, pain free (except the sore throat the following day from being intubated). I'm the biggest chicken ever when it comes to invasive procedures -- I work in the legal field and only ever hear about the things that go wrong, not all the ones that go right -- but for this, I went in in the morning, was put thoroughly to sleep, woke up under a warm blanket three hours later, and have not had an AFib episode since. I had no pain in the chest or at the groin site; I wasn't even especially tired or groggy or anything at all. If you're feeling anxious, it's completely understandable, but hopefully you'll remember that this scaredy cat near Seattle got through it with no problems, so you will, too. 🙂

Hello. I ha a Dx of PSVT. On propafenone and bisoprolol max doses. I’ve been having palpitations lately getting worse, which causes a great deal of discomfort. My cardiologist referred me for an evaluation to see if I could have an ablation. But I know the chances of it being effective are about 80% and I am ambivalent about having it done because of the inherent risks involved during the procedure and the chances of having the ablation repeated , no to mention it might not work. Frankly it scares me. I’m 68. Anyone going through the same thing outhere?
