Does anyone have experience with this ablation procedure?by BeachBill - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteJustMeToo I would certainly want and expect my ablation done by a very experienced electrophysiologist and not someone who is "practicing" this procedure in a teaching hospital. That is a confirmation that I would want from my electrophysiologist before the procedure and would not want to proceed without that assurance. I realize that teaching hospitals must provide opportunitiesby BeachBill - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteLynn Just curious,who performed your ablation? Dr Wharton @ MUSC (Medical University of South Carolina) in Charleston, SC.by BeachBill - AFIBBERS FORUM
During an ablation procedure on 4/26/2018, one of my heart chambers was punctured. Only 50% of the procedure had been completed when puncture occurred. I received 4 pints of blood and 2 pints of palettes. The only explanation about what happened was that the pressure/temperature probe had a problem or that part of the heart wall was thin. I was in ICU for 4 days and the regular hospital forby BeachBill - AFIBBERS FORUM

Thanks for all the input. I had a nuclear stress test and passed it with flying colors. It makes me feel better about the upcoming ablation.by BeachBill - AFIBBERS FORUM
Quoterobby1939 Thanks, Bill. I am aware of the book PEMF The 5th Element. It looks like a long read and there were a lot of negative comments about it concerning contradictions but I'm sure there's a lot of good information there too. Robby, glad to hear about the positive results you are getting from your PEMF machine. I too have had very similar results. Also a friend of mine haby BeachBill - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Quoterobby1939 I just wanted to clarify that I am using the OMI PEMF therapy mat. The Earth Pulse is a different device that I am considering. Also, I'm reading about grounding sheets, wrist bands, etc. This is an interesting area too explore. Keep in mind (OMI vs Earth Pulse vs ?) that PEMF machines differ in several different ways but they all have one basic goal. Deliver the PEMF siby BeachBill - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
I'm scheduled for ablation surgery the end of the month. I have had Afib for several years and it has progressively gotten worse. When I was being scheduled for surgery, neither my cardiologist or EP seem interested in doing any due diligence. I ask my cardiologist about it and he agreed it would be a good idea. So, next week I'm having the full blown stress test. I am curious if oby BeachBill - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Robby, It is great that PEMF helped you so much. It did the same for me. I have been using my machine since April 2016. After reading a lot about how PEMF actually works, in a simplified way, I look at the cells as batteries and the PEMF therapy as a battery charger. When a battery has been charged, there is no advantage to continuing to charge it. I say this because should you go to usinby BeachBill - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Hi Robby - I would recommend that before you buy a PEMF machine, you obtain the technical information (EMF pwr, frequency, waveform, etc) about the PEMF machine and discuss if using that PEMF machine with your pacemaker is OK with your doctor and get his approval. Regarding weight, there should be weight limits specified for a PEMF machine. If you don't mind me asking, what benefits woulby BeachBill - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
QuoteCarey You absolutely must be on anticoagulants during an ablation. In fact, during the procedure you'll be given heparin, which is a another anticoagulant. There's very little risk that something "goes wrong" leading to bleeding. That's a very unusual complication, especially for someone like Natale. Nobody bleeds out during ablations. That just doesn't happen.by BeachBill - AFIBBERS FORUM
I have been wearing HAs for about 30 years. They have come a long way from analog to digital. The two I am wearing came from Costco and for a very good price. They have bluetooth and are the best I have ever owned (I have owned many). Good luck.by BeachBill - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

Hi colindo, I have a PEMF machine (iMRS 2000) and I have been using it since April 2016. I use it 3 times a day for 8 minutes each time. It has helped me in the following ways: * General health: I have more energy and have virtually no aches and pains. I use to just accept the minor pain and stiffness as part of aging and treat it with Tylenol. I do not use Rx for pain relief. * Lower Backby BeachBill - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Hi everyone, what a GREAT forum. I have already spent several hours reading posts and they have been both enjoyable and very informative. I too am on a journey to slay the AF beast. When I started the journey without a clue about how to proceed, I felt like I had joined up with the Monty Python boys trying to find the Holy Grail.
