Yes i will. Atypical Flutter. Left Flutter is not the easy ablation that right flutter is My EP convinced me he would get it. But im learning that its just not that easy. Thus my trip You certainly sound like flutter but without capturing on an ekg or even Kardia there is no way to know I ll be reporting Tby Poppino - AFIBBERS FORUM
Wow very similar in some aspects to me. I had left flutter ablated 3/29. Had 5 good weeks then lots of erratic activity. 8 days of flutter Then a HR that would not reach 60 no matter what i did. That lasted a few days. Then late may a 181 episode lasted 2.5 hrs. Now in june i get resting HR of 68 that goes to 95-105 in a second. Those last 30 secs to 15 mins. My EP has not corresponded.

Yes as George says: many like me finally realize that going to the best is really a no brainer. I just wish id done it sooner After this 3/29 left flutter ablation i have not been the same. My EP has not one time corresponded ! Which surprises me and gives me reason for concern? Soon ill know what my story is. 7/7 Getting to Austin is alot easier than I expected. Shannon a huge help.

Prior to my afib ablation 2012 i would use 600 mg propafanone as pip at episode onset only. It became pro arrhythmia giving me right flutter which was also ablated in 2012 After my first ablation i took nothing but warfarin which i was resistant to and after 2 weeks took nothing. After my 3/29 atypical flutter ablation i was on eliquis and 2/20 mg of propananol only. Now im scheduled for a 7/7 pby Poppino - AFIBBERS FORUM

I received a call this afternoon from Trent at Dr Natale s office in Austin. We talked about 40 mins. He s great! Very professional and knowledgeable. I have a tendency towards pericarditis so they have a med plan to help with that. We talked about my history and recent & current status. Im at 3 months post ablation but still having daily tachy episodes although shorter. Bottom line is im jusby Poppino - AFIBBERS FORUM
I definitely have. At least to a certain level. My dad in 1974 had panic attacks so bad he left for the NC mts for a month. Alone My son soph yr of college had full blown panic attacks. Much better now although not perfect. He sought help thru therapy. So is there a hereditary link? I need to as well Its worry. When ones heart beats at 125-200 yes that can cause anxiety.
