Ablation for Afib

Posted by mec151 @mec151, May 16, 2025

I’m looking for shared experiences with folks who have had only one or two AFib occurrences over six months. I am in that situation right now where I had two AFib episodes in November 24 and am being encouraged to have an ablation. Currently, I am not on any meds. But, if I should have an episode I have a med protocol of metoprolol and eliquis. I monitor 24/7 with an Apple Watch and an Oura. Any advice on how to reduce the chance of recurrence? I’m not thrilled about the ablation.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart Rhythm Conditions Support Group.

At least to my knowledge I have had 1 AFIB episode. I believe I brought it on by doing lots of heavy and hard work repairing one of my ranch gates. I am on Eliquis and metoprolol and had a cardioversion a little over 2 months ago and am in NSR. On the 23rd of May (next week) I will have a Pulsed Field Ablation done at University of Colorado Medical Center. I have no qualms about having the PFA done and am looking forward to getting off of the meds.

@suerte I had the PFA done and so far it is successful. Off of metoprolol but still on Eliquis. Probably forever.
