I am 78 yrs old and just had my 2nd ablation. The 1st one lasted 12 yrs. I also had a Watchman implant to prevent blood clots but never had a pacemaker put in. Have the drs told you why you need one. I know many people who have pacemakers with positive results.
Good luck and happy blessings to you 🙏

Drs want at the moment an ablation. I'm hoping to meet with them this week.
My AF is new to me resulting from sepsis through a bacterial infection.
I've just had a week in hospital and was in AF the majority of time
especially during the night. The Dr attending said that ablation doesn't
always work and to consider a Pacemaker. This will depend on what my
Cardiologist says. I am on a list for an ablation but it could take upto 8
months. The breathing difficulties have been occurring quite frequently. I
am on medication for blood thinning. Its all new to me at the moment and I
so appreciate you sharing your experience. God bless.
