@catmom777 Good to hear that your afib symptoms are becoming more manageable or maybe you are slowly getting used to them! Yes, ablation was always considered to be a last resort -- if and only if your symptoms become intolerable. Having said that, it is minimally invasive requiring an overnight stay at most - sometimes same day and beats open heart surgery any day. Just nice to know that it is there should one need it and for the most part it works. Stay well! Mary

Some days I don't have any palpitations or heart flip-flops at all, like yesterday. Other days I will have one or two short ones and other days I'll have one that goes on for an hour or maybe even two. My triggers seem to be getting dehydrated or stressed, or too tired. I've learned to pace myself.
