@chickenfarmer If it worked for a few years, would it be worth it to go back and see if a second ablation can buy you another five-eight years free of arrhythmia? I have thought about this....some....but not much or long. For me, the symptoms when my heart is fibrillating are just awful. Anxiety, need to get up and pace (which has a silver lining since I sit too much and have widened my girth some), the thumping and fluttering in my chest, the need to belch out loud which, when watching TV with the missus, goes a long way toward maintaining our relationship....you get the picture. No, I will go for a third ablation when my time comes, and I'm under no illusions that I'm good for life now...most ablations lose out in time and the recourse is yet another ablation or just live with AF...which virtually never kills their hosts. Fortunately, when he discharged me on that final phone call about three months post ablation and with the Holter results showing normal sinus rhythm, no blips, he invited me to call his office as soon as I need help again for my heart. I will take him up on that.
