Hello Fucci, We've had similar experiences. I'm a 74 yr. old man , that had an A V Node ablation Oct. 21 2024, after 6 ablations over the years. I too can't walk long distances without feeling I'm going to faint. My heart rate and blood pressures are always normal. I'm very depressed that this is as good as it gets. Doctors keep saying give it time, but I'm not gettin that much better.

Hello James:
I hope your situation improves. They say that AV Node procedure does not cure A fib but that most people don’t experience symptoms.
And that it eliminates tachycardia which I have every now and then and which interferes in quality of life.
I have opted out of the procedure for now but it may be in my future.
Good luck!
