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.

Hi @mrk4445. I am impressed with your experience so far and hope others will consider talking about it with their doctors. Your stable heart rhythm and revived energy are what so many with heart rhythm problems hope for. That you went around cardioversion (by medication or electrical shock) is a tribute to you and your medical team. Would you mind sharing your understanding of your treatment with three components -- surgical ablation of heart tissue, Flecainide medication, and Eliquis? That combination suggests that you have overcome arrhythmia in both your atria (upper chambers) and ventricles (lower chamber). Does that feel like a total fix?
