I was hopeful that my doctor would do that for me, but he said ablation is not effective on permanent afib. However, I would be willing to try. I've heard of people having multiple ablations only to have their afib return. That is the one thing I don't want.

Are you sure you didn't have A-Flutter ? That is fixed with one ablation & is a typical warning of A-Fib in a few years after the ablation. That's what happened with me. Just a heads up. Good Luck !
