Am reaching out for mental support. Had near death episodes of Afib 6 mos ago (over 200 bpm), needed electro cardio version to bring me back. Ablation followed which so far has been successful . But I've been left with severe depression and anxiety which I can't shake . Not a depressed person by nature with excellent diet, walk 2 miles per day, yoga and meditation. Have others experienced this and will it lift? Is it result of several cardio versions, trauma to the heart, meds (only Eliquis)?

Great place to post. I myself am dealing with anxiety from the procedure itself. Much like you I was having trouble with my heart jumping up to 190 after a syncope episode that would stop my heart for 10 seconds. You are in the right place. For sure @danab has been a great resource for help as well. Stay positive
