I was ablated in late July of '22. Six days later, in the ER and put on amiodarone to stabilize my HR. Tried to go off amiodarone at the seven week mark, but my AF returned. Told to try two more weeks, then commence the 'weaning' off' period of two weeks again. That worked, and I was free of AF for two months..so we're in late October by now. Had more AF walking my toddler grandson up the street, he holding onto my pinky finger. I sent a recording of my AF taken by my Galaxy wristwatch to the physician who did the ablation 13 weeks earlier. He agreed that it was back, and that he would schedule me for a redo. Meanwhile, over the New Year period, seven weeks later, I had more AF (purchased a new Toyota Highlander, and the experience set my heart into AF). They tried three cardioversions over three successive days, and none of them lasted more than a few hours. So, this is now two instances of AF from the time I started the amiodarone six days after the index ablation. I finally converted on my own, and was more-or-less fine until he redid the ablation on 14 Feb of 2023. Then, two weeks later, another bout of AF. I was greatly annoyed and unhappy. However, I went back into NSR about six hours later, and have never had another AF experience.

It was about 3 months but I’m doing great now. Only my heart rate can’t seem to go over 125 and that might be a problem trying to get power on my bike.
