@wews I am so excited for you! I am only two days in and I feel better already! No pounding of the heart at night! I read the surgical notes from the electrocardiologist after I got home yesterday and it sounds like he practically stood on his head to hit all the spots that needed to be "zapped". He reported some unusual anatomy and narrowing in places unique to me apparently. I think he worked on me for almost 4 hours and he used PFA so I am sooo pleased. I wish the very best for you. I think I have a good cardiologist but if I had not done my homework and checked out all the info on YouTube from the experts from all over, I would still be struggling with meds and having more outbreaks. I practically demanded that I get a referral to an electrophysiologist. I know I am not "cured" but I feel much more comfortable with advocating for myself. It helps to be a nurse and know what to expect on some level, but I was not nervous about doing this. I counted down the days! My husband had a progressive cardiologist years ago who told him "all meds are really poison and you only hope the benefits will outweigh the side effects." I truly believe that the less you can take, the better off you are so if surgical intervention is the best option out there now, I hope more people will pursue it! Again, good luck to you; I hope you will be as happy as I am to get this done. Merry Christmas!
