I really don't know what to tell you. I have had 2 cardioversions and 2 ablations but I still have AF so it is very disappointing of going through so much for nothing.
No wonder my Cardiologists told me to continue to take Eliquis twice a day (5mg morning and 5mg evening). I have a Kardia mobile apparatus in which I monitor my EKG about 3 times a week and all it tells me that I have possible AF which means I do have AF because I can feel it during the day and at night.
I also had a Cardiac Catheterization this past July 15th and the Cardiologist found 20 to 30 percent blockages which he stated it was not of significance, but I do have severe pulmonary hypertension which affects my breathing and shortness of breath. He wants to increase my dosage of the diuretic meds I am taking daily but it does affect my kidneys, so I don't think I am going to take the double dosage unless my Kidney Specialist tells me it would be okay to take them.

I have a brother who had 2 ablations that didn't work. On the third, they did a two step process (can't remember the term, but gloaming had it a few days ago), ....they went in from the outside, then after that healed, the went back inside the heart to complete the procedure. It did the trick! He has been afib free. ...so don't lose hope. Until his third ablation, he had no energy and was constantly out of breath. His only heart med is no 5mg Eliquis morning and night.
My experience was a cryo-ablation by one of the best electrophysiologist in the country (U.S.), and then a mitral valve repair to be now afib free.
Wishing you all the best!

How frustrating for you! I have Kardia mobile and it states possible afib when I’m in afib. I don’t think it ever states just afib. The word possible is probably legal protection for them. Good luck going forward. Since your second ablation was recent hopefully your afib will still improve.
