Has anyone with a pacemaker had an ablation for AFib?

My story is a bit different. I had the ablation first(Jan 2024) which has stopped my a fib. I had an RVR - rapid ventricular response. I had a pacemaker implanted February of 2024 after wearing a Zio monitor which detected bradycardia. The pacemaker also helps with my RVR. I have had my pacemaker adjusted twice for that. I hope you find a solution to your problem.

@gram0322 may I ask how low your heart rate went? I have Afib with RVR
- that’s what they wrote in my recent hospital notes. I wore a ZIO patch recently. Will find out more in two weeks.
I am nervous because I stopped breathing when I was under anesthesia for a colonoscopy and endoscopy (together) a few years ago… woke-up after the very short procedure (probably 15-30 mins max) and was coughing and had something attached to me (breathing machine or something?) and two days later I was in the emergency room with aspirational
Pneumonia.
How long was your ablation procedure and how was the recovery? My heart rate goes as low as 48 (but generally it is 50’s and 60’s) while I sleep and then I get tachycardia when I walk. Over 100 and sometimes up to 160 if anxious. When in Afib it goes up between 125-173). Afib is not every day or week. Can go a month or two without Afib. It used to be once a year or so.
My typical Resting rate is in 50’s, but more like 60 as an average.
Many thanks - appreciate your sharing. All
If the best with your health!!
