I have a question. I’m scheduled for a second ablation in July. I have cancelled twice, due to my nervousness and some other medical issues.
I suffered for decades with hundreds of episodes of AF and possibly Sinus issues.
Original Cardiologist totally unhelpful. Forward 25 plus years, new Cardiologist and new EP.
My EP is excellent and extremely experienced and the centre has unparalleled safety records for the procedure.
Ablation March 2121. Changed my life.
Since my first ablation , I have had approximately 40 episodes, a few long, some brief, and also recently, two bouts of flutter, one lasting 11 days and the other 8 days.
Since my second CV in March this year things are a bit quieter. I’m still having the odd brief run of AF, and at least once a day I experience sudden nausea and dizziness, and almost pass out. My fitness band shows my HR has jumped up to 150 plus. but it goes away.
My question is regarding a second ablation , and whether to have it, or just hope it will settle. Because of my age, I tell myself not to wait, just do it. But I then talk myself out of it again.
Also I noticed in a couple of posts that it was suggested that a member hold off-for a Pulse Field Ablation. Is that because it is considered a better and / or safer than RF ablation?
