Thank you for replying. I feel better knowing that I’m not alone. I trying to educate myself more about Afib .I have had so much anxiety and was getting depressed. I had the ablation on march 28-2023 and a week ago I had an afib attack. I know my heart is healing.but it scared the hell out of me when I had the Afib attack.. I went to the doctor he explained that I was in the healing period that I need to get my anxiety under control..Im doing better now with lots of prayers..God bless

Everyone is different, but here is my experience for what it's worth: I exercise and eat smartly (low in calories, sugar, and salt). I had mitral valve repair, ablation, and LAAC at 78, almost a year ago. No more AFIB (it can work permanently). Off of Eliquis after four months, after wearing heart monitor for 30 days to be sure AFIB was gone. Daily I take only 12.5mg metoprolol, 81mg aspirin, and 29% of RDA magnesium ( I have read that magnesium and moderate exercise help to stay out of AFIB). I had a great surgeon at WakeMed in Raleigh, Dr. Boulton, who did all of the heart stuff. That was key of course. Best to you.
