Same here.

Way I feel..Maybe have to have another ablation or consider pacemaker.

You really haven't given us much information such as what is your heart rate currently. Also, the 3 ablations must have been over a long period of time. I have had one ablation and my afib did not go away. After about 3 months in sinus rhythm my heart rate was high again. However, my electrophysiologist told me I could not have a second ablation right away. My afib prevented me from living a normal lifestyle. He did put me on multaq 400mg. I haven't been in afib since starting this medication. It has been a life saver for me. But the cost of multaq is very high. Last month I paid $835.00 for a 3-month supply of multaq. For me that is a lot of money. I also have other issues with multaq. One of the symptoms is a rash and although I don't get the rash all the time it is a problem for me. I have been using cortizone and it has helped. I am hoping my doctor will allow me to have another ablation but I will not go against his advice. Let us know how you are doing.
