@loswalt0525 I am just curious; did the ablation ever stop the A-fib completely? What did the EP say about the reoccurence and when did it start after the ablation? I had to wait almost a year after my diagnosis to get an ablation and I, like you, did not want to take the anti-arrhythmia meds due to the side effects. I did use flecainide as a "pill in the pocket" a couple of times and that worked, but as far as taking a regular dose, I elected to not do that. My A-fib episodes were more sporatic than yours sound; I would have a two to four hour episode and then nothing for several weeks. I am almost one year after ablation and have not had any A-fib and only occasional awareness of PACs which my cardiologist says is no big deal. Have you made any lifestyle changes that are working. For me, giving up all alcohol (I was having a beer occasionally before) and cutting down on caffeine has helped, I think. I also lost some weight although I was not overweight to begin with. Just wondering how you will make out; please let us know.
