How long does ablation last?

I had my first ablation in 2000 for a recurring stress-induced SVT condition. It worked quite well for over 2 decades but I started noticing recurring SVT and aFIB in 2023. That resulted in a diagnosis of an aortic aneurysm which was fixed last year but the aFIB and SVT are back with a vengance now that I have healed from the aneurysm surgery. Soooo, I will go in for another ablation next month for both aFIB and SVT (apparently they are slightly different procedures)... Let's hope this procedure is the last one for a long time!

There are several good drug interaction-sites on line and they are easy to use . I only worry when I see “ serious interaction “ . But always check with your doctor if you’re not sure about a med. Mindfulness Meditation is one that I began several years ago after trying many of them . Again many sites and easy to find one you like to use . If all else fails a couple of glasses of your favorite wine works wonders. Best of health .

I live at at Del Webb and walk by a class called minfulness meditaion.

Is this what you do or is this different? I would really like to take that class. Do you do a personal version of that?

I used to do chair yoga and loved it. When COVID hit they quit doing all classes. Then after COVID they no longer offered morning classes and only late afternoon.

I was just told I’m eligible for 1:1 meditation training thru my cancer program. It will be scheduled soon. The social worker who told me about it also works with the cardiology unit. She says it’s been shown (at least one study) to reduce afib by up to 30%. Not sure if that’s # of episodes or duration. My episodes are typically 30 hours. I’m excited. Will schedule it tomorrow. I’m also hoping it will somehow help my insomnia too. J think sleep deprivation and sleep apnea are some of my afib triggers because I’ve eliminated all the food triggers. We’ll see! 1 on 1? Really? That’s amazing? Hope I can focus.

I have never taken a Mindfulness class.,but I’m sure there only one Mindfulness . It might be a good way for you to get started with meditation. I still use it most days and it does help me relax and get focused on tasks at hand . On line there are plenty of sites. Just type it in and pages will pop up. Good luck.

Were you on eliquis after your ablation and for how long? My new cardiologist wants to put me on eliquis 4 years after mitral valve replacement and MAZE procedure in case I have another episode of afib. Afib has been corrected since December 2020.
