My cardologist recommend a new EP with over 30 year experoence. I had a PFA ablation, instead of the cathera ablation. My Afib (fingers crossed) has been under control since March.Thw procedure was less than 2 hours without an overnight stay, Recovery went very well.

I Have/ Had paroxysmal Afib and always converted within 12 hours without being cardioverted. The only side effect since the PFA has been palpitations brought on by the Amiodarone. Presently I am taking medication for hypothyroidism which has helped and I should be able to get off of medication as soon as thryoid heals itself.
I had been on a number of antiarrhythmic drugs but no longer. I do take a long lasting BP medication and Eliqus.

My concern is the aura's because I had gone for a number of years without the having an aura and this is concerning as I feel the aura's are slightly worse than I had previously epxerienced]]> Irenerose AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 09 Jul 2025 00:24:24 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,199832,199835#msg-199835 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,199832,199835#msg-199835
The post Daisy refers to can be found by clicking here. If all four of your ablations have been done by the same EP, my advice would be to stop allowing them to do ablations. You're way down the same road I traveled and I promise it doesn't go where you want. The only meds you should be on at this point is a blood thinner.

And yeah, I've experienced auras too. Still do on rare occasions but they're much less frequent and don't last as long now. There's really nothing to be done about them.]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 08 Jul 2025 21:08:24 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,199832,199833#msg-199833 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,199832,199833#msg-199833
Another question is: have you considered going to one of the top EP who does ablations? It seems that you are needing quite a few ablations in a short period of time and still needing medication. Have you read Carey‘s post above about multiple unsuccessful ablations? It is quite an eye-opener.]]> Daisy AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 08 Jul 2025 18:02:52 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,199832,199832#msg-199832 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,199832,199832#msg-199832

3rd ablation 2024 I took Multaq which worked for 8 months, after a 5 days hospital stay I started Sotalol which was immediately discontinued and started Amiodarone.
4 months Amiodarone was discontinued due to the side effects of hyperthyroidism.

Afib and aura migraines are both our electrical systems gone awry, although concerning.
