A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭

Diagnosed with PSVT in 2020. AFIB diagnosis Jan 2021. Flecainide and Eliquis since Jan 2021. 2022 brings a whole new round of problems.

That’s what they are recommending for my husband after his recent RX. Tikyson…. They will put him in hospital to load him. We’re discussing ablation with my EP in a week or so. They tried cardio version yesterday am and it didn’t work sobsent him home on Atenolol and Eliquis. My ablation worked for Afib but now I’ve got SVTs and PVCs and they have recommended I have a ventricular ablation …. Not sure yet.

If you can have an ablation, go for it. I have had 2 successful ones for different arrhythmias and I have not had a problem since. My heart used to go over 250 bpm so I know how debilitating that is. I had my first ablation over 37 years ago and it has never returned. My second one was done just over a year ago and that has not returned either. Once the ablation is done you will have a short recovery time but you should feel better than you ever have. Understand that ablations for afib and SVTs may take up to eight weeks to heal. You may still have arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) during the first few weeks after your ablation. During this time, you may need anti-arrhythmic medications or other treatments. So they will probably keep you on the Flecainide and Eliquis for a little while and monitor your heart until the Afib and SVTs stop. Afib and SVT are not serious and while they are a pain, they are not life-threatening. You get used to feeling bad and somehow you manage to deal with the fatigue and other symptoms over time. I used to have to just stop and lie down and rest when my heart was going that fast. My advice is to go and get those ablations you won't regret it. I can't have one for afib because of the previous surgery and other anatomical issues it is risky and for now, I take Tikyson to control the afib and it is working great. If I could have an ablation for afib I certainly would. The last ablation was outpatient and I was home only hours after it. I hope this helps you and if you want to talk more just post on my wall and I will be happy to talk with you. Good luck, keep us posted, and I am sending you prayers and hugs🙏🤗
