Hey @mec151
I am 54, very healthy and active, and am shocked to have had two Afib attacks since May. Both were accompanied by a build up of chest pain for a couple days before the actual Afib events. I went to the ER for both, did not have cardiac conversion, but my heart rate was 155. I am currently on metropolol and eliquis (no stroke, thank you!), and am under the care of a cardiologist. I have had an echocardiogram (2 minimally leaky valves), a CT coronary angiogram (zero heart disease), and am currently wearing a Ziopatch heart rate monitor to determine if I am a candidate for ablation. I absolutely want the ablation so I do not have to go through this discomfort or stress of Afib and will eventually be able to get off the meds. I don't know your story, but my doc is certain I will just need this one ablation and I will be good to go.

Dear Lovelielovie (I love that name). I am scheduled for an ablation on 9/11/25. I am anxious about the procedure but am very encouraged by your confidence, I too hope that an ablation will resolve the AFib. I am having my CT scan on 8/27/25. Fingers crossed. Wishing you a great outcome.

If I were you I wouldn’t count on having no more AFIB after ablation. I speak from experience as I had an ablation and less than a month later I had a afib again. I now have pacemaker and am on blood thinner and heart meds. However, I think ablation does work for some. Good luck.
