Hello- I am a new member. I have been in and out of persistent aFib since 2021. I have had one ablation in 2022 that lasted for 1 and1/2 years.
I was then cardioverted in March of 2023. That kept me in sinus rhythm for 11 months. I am now back in persistent afib since January of 2025.
My cardiologist and EP, want me to start on Tikosyn (anti-arrhythmic drug). I really don't want to go down that road.
I am 65, very healthy, eat well, take good care of myself etc etc. Low blood pressure, no high cholesterol, all my biomarkers are good.
My Afib is very tolerable with my meds (metropolol, lisinprol and elliquis). But I know it is important to try and get back into sinus rhythm.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
I am considering going down to Boston (I live in Maine) for a second opinion...
Thanks.
