I had atial fibrillation and five years ago had a cardiac ablation done and I was back doing things I love to do. but now I have to have 4 or 5 by-pass on my heart. I am in good health not over weight. I am 66 years old, My mother had the same problem 30 years ago and had 5 by-pass operation. Taking asprin helped me.

Thanks for replying, and I'm sorry to hear about needing bypass surgery. The ablation was completely successful, then? That is, no palpitations in those 5 years? And is it pretty likely that the AFib is unrelated to the need for bypass surgery? I mean, the one comes from blocked arteries and the other is an arrythmia.
