I was diagnosed with Afib 3 years ago. I had a pulsed field ablation on February 3, 2025. 2 hours after surgery, I had a moderate pericardial effusion resulting in icu stay which is rare so don’t let that stop you. I am still on same medication, generic Pradaxa and 75 mg flecainide. Surgery was considered a success per EP. A total of 46 PFA lesions were delivered. My doctor is well respected in Tampa Bay Area but extremely busy and my appoints keep getting rescheduled. Talked to my cardiologist about decreasing/discontinuing medications. So now scheduled for a loop recorder placement for monitoring (on 10/27/25). Finally scheduled to see EP on 10/13. Needless to say, I am frustrated with all this waiting. I am walking 45 minutes 3-4 times a week along with yoga. Feeling great with ( maybe 4) occasional 30 sec episodes of high heart rate but no afib per Apple Watch or Kardia mobile. These episodes seem to come out of nowhere and happen without triggers.
