Just a little update since my av node ablation & my pacemaker. Ot is the best decision I have ever made. No more afib, no more in and out to A& E for cardioversions. Once I healed after pacemaker insertion I have much more energy etc. A much better quality of life. It does take a little while to adjust , mentally, to the pacemaker. I was anxious for a little while but now after nearly 2 months I don't even think about it. That's my story and I really hope it helps someone who may have to have the procedure.
