Just my 2 cents here but I sure wish I had the ablation early on in my life. I had it done due to the afib. Unfortunately, I had two cardioembolic strokes at 50 (believe me, you do not want to stroke) but did not see a doctor for the strokes for 6 months--I didn't have insurance and was fearful of the expense. But, the afib worsened and I landed in ER with 253 beats per minute and 3 nights trying to get into Sinus rhythm. I am 73 now, ablation was done successfully 2 years ago, I wish I had done it years ago!! Anyway, don't let the heart rate get you into trouble and stroking. Not fun. Strokes happen. I am grateful to no longer be on the terrible but lifesaving drug Amidarone. Saved my life but it is extremely hard on everything in the body...thanks to the ablation, I am free of it and the drug, Multaq. I will be on Eliquis the rest of my life (started this when the afib took a turn and I landed in ER. Heed the doctor's advice...no stroking. I do have supraventricula tachardyia but I am well overall. Take care. Keep us posted.
