@mmm123 good luck to your husband. I’m now 1 month post PFA. I have to admit for me the recovery has been tough, but I think it is a combination of the heart healing and the meds I’m still on. They reduced my Diltaizem to 120mg and the Flecainide to 100mg, I’m also on Eliquis. My post op isn’t until 4/17 when I’m hoping they take me off the meds. I may try to go in at 8 weeks instead of 12 weeks because of the med side effects . I also have to wear a heart monitor for 2 weeks before my follow up and am perplexed by that because the meds are keeping my HR regulated. Thanks everyone for sharing their experiences.

@ltb7 I’m in exactly the same boat! 13 weeks post PFA. at 10 weeks stopped Flecinide. 36 hour off and Afib. So back on 50 mg twice daily. No incidents until last night 3am. Waited to take my dose in the morning because a monitor was suppose to be delivered so I thought that would give them a good reading. 12 hours in Afib I took med because monitor isn’t here yet. I too question a monitor when the meds were working

@ltb7 I went for 3 month check up after PFA. They took me off The Flecinide. 36 hours later I was in AFIB! when I told them this they immediately put me back on the Flecinide. My goal was to get off meds. I’m so disappointed! I guess we will see in 2 months. I’ve also never had a heart monitor. They were going to when I came off the med last week. Now cancelled it.
