A Flutter

I had an ablation for A-Flutter in 2017 after surgery & was warned it may turn into A-Fib & 3 years later it did. I had no issues after the ablation but am frustrated that I am not at serious enough risk to get an ablation for the A-Fib. I take Metropol & Eliquis twice daily for the A-Fib. You may want to get a monitor (Apple Watch or ?) to know if you get A-Fib. Good Luck !

As previously implied, I have had AFib for a few years and finally had an ablation in January this year. Had one event afterwards followed by a Cardioversion in February. No Afib since but then experienced AFlutter in July through August and returned to NSR with a cardioversion on the 22nd this month. I knew (without a monitoring device) in that month and a half that I was not in NSR and that I would either return to normal through the medication or need another cardioversion. I am now scheduled for an Aflutter ablation. ( I have remained in NSR since the cardioversion. Also, I have been taking Eliquis and Metoprolol Tartrate for five years (since my diagnosis)

I just bought a Withings scanwatch- it can run an ECG although (not meant to be official) but is really comforting - can also scan pulse ox and sleep / respiratory interruptions …
