AFIB After Ablation
I suffered/suffer from AFIB and various heart irregularities. Had an AFIB ablation end of September 2022. Barely recovered. Spent 10 days in hospital afterwards. Was told it was successful. However, ever since I have had constant episodes of heart issues over and over of various sorts. Seeing cardiologist, wearing heart monitors, to be told this is just normal, nothing more can be done, sit at home and wait it out unless life threatening. I can't function, go anywhere, can't live.

You have to do what you want to do. AFIB did not stop you from living. Take your medicine ON TIME. Sometime you have to walk a little slower when you exercise. Stop and rest you upstairs. Just give it stop time
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) can sometimes recur after catheter ablation. Here are some key points:
- Catheter Ablation: This procedure involves inserting long, thin tubes (catheters) into the groin and up through the blood vessels to the heart. The tip of the catheter uses extreme cold (cryotherapy), radiofrequency waves Show Full Answer
I had to switch cardiologist in order to be taken seriously. Was in constant AFIB all the time and sooo tired. Had major side effects with meds. Beware of Amioderone! Serious side effects and takes months to go away. Abellation and doing quite well most of the time.
Pamela, sounds like you’ve made a decision on your current cardiologist. Time to select another then act. I made a change and now wonder why I didn’t meet with other doctors first. I had a successful ablation. Below are a few resources that helped me.

Take action, trust your gut, god bless.
Pamela, I just had an ablation for Aflutter in May, and 3 days after I came home I developed an SVT and I am now on beta blockers. Afib can return after an ablation. I would try and find another EP doctor who can help you. Are you on an antiarrhythmic drug? Some of the other beats you are feeling may well be ectopics, PAC, or other random beats. Try taking a magnesium supplement. They won't hurt you, they are cheap and they will probably work. They worked for me. Recommended forms include magnesium citrate, magnesium gluconate, and magnesium lactate, all of which are more easily absorbed into the body than other forms. Take the supplements and I bet you will start feeling better. Here is a link to a doctor I found on youtube that convinced me to try it and it worked!
