Hi,
My name is Peggy and I live in Florida. I am 70 years old. I never had a heart problem till now and I have to admit I find it scary. Last year I was hospitalized because my heart rate was 200. Unfortunately, now my heart racing is happening more often. My doctor has prescribed diazepam ,30mg. My doctor has recommended I have an ablation. So my question is do you think I should do this? Also, he has said maybe a different medication would be an option also.

Hi Peggy,
I'm Mary from Minnesota, 58 years old. I just had an ablation 5 months. So far so good. I am on Fleconide 50mg twice a day and eliquis. I have my 6 month follow up in December. My heart rhythm has been good so far. I have my energy back and feel like myself again. I am glad I had it done...I have relief from symptoms for now anyways and I am grateful. Before my ablation I was very symptomatic. Hospitalized 2 times, cardio conversion and no energy. I would encourage you to discuss this option with your doctor and consider the possibility of having it done.
