May I presume you're seeing specialists?

I just had an ablation, 2 weeks ago, for atrial fibrillation and flutter (4-1/2 hrs in surgery). I am actually in sinus rhythm for over 2 weeks now -- the first time, this many consecutive days in years!

(I also had my aortic valve replaced 13 months ago.)

I see several specialists for the various issues I have, by the way.

I have found we have to be our own advocates, mostly, but a family or friend can also help. (My local medical group has a patient care department, and they help advocate, as well.)

I am 71, and in Oregon, the Pacific Northwest of America.

Are you on anti-arrythmia meds and blood thinners, then?

I, too had a watchman put in which took me off of Warfarin. I have no issues. Was born and raised in the Northwest. Raised a family, remarried and moved to Montana, I have had 2 ablation since I moved here. One in 2012 and 2022, the latter one with afib lasted 4 weeks and very painful. Prior to that I was in and out quite often. I have been on an a afib medicine for quite sometime. After the last ablation I was able to stop the storage but afib came back so finally restart it. And doing great, trying to be more active but do fall more than I like.
