Been there but arrived via a different route. It was my second ablation that placed me in a similar situation to yours. Though my first and second were 10 yrs apart. Were you on any antiarrhythmic's following either of your procedures?by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
I really need to dig into your information George. Where I live and ride it's impossible to remain in zone 2. I'm also not sure I'm entirely understanding your detraining concept.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteNotLyingAboutMyAfib I am kind of thankful I no longer have any cycling friends. Practically every ride I've ever been on was either to punish others or have them punish me. I still have to constantly remind myself when someone faster than me goes by. "it's not big deal... relax... stick to your plan".

I've never had anything like that associated with an ablation. However I do get phantom vibrations in my thighs occasionally. Not both at the same time.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM

I know this is a controversial subject and that peoples reactions are from minor to full on angry but here goes. During a conversation with a friend today about vaccines he brought up the fact that his wife had to go to the hospital following her second moderna jab due to heart arrhythmia. I'm sure it's completely coincidental.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM

QuoteKen Don't panic yet. After my first ablation, I went 13 years before my afib came back, but during that time, I had 4 breakthroughs scattered over that time period, all short lived. Then finally a big surge and another ablation. Disappointing for sure, but maybe just a small bump in a long road. Same experience here following my ablation in 2009. First 4-5 years were perfect NSR. Tby rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM

Quotesafib You can't associate large deviation type events without statistical methods. As for the student who had some kind of episode, this is an example of faulty inference. There is no reason to believe that it was due to anything but random chance, where the null hypothesis is perhaps even more likely due to supplied information (why has a student received 2 shots of vaccine alreadby rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
My friend is a nurse and teaches @ a local college. Two weeks ago one of the student's excused herself from class saying she wasn't feeling well. My friend followed her to make sure she was ok. When she arrived to the room the student was flat on the floor. They immediately summoned the other instructor and students.The girl was in some sort of tachacardia ecardia.

Quotesusan.d I know of several people who've undergone ablations with Natale who required a second procedure, and he usually advises patients in advance that it might be necessary. or a rare third...since he is super cautious and isolating the LAA may need an additional LAA touch-up. I was told upfront I may need a third. EVERYONE is different and many are lucky to have a one and done.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM

I'm curious. Once you have an episode. Are you able to continue exercise after you convert back having no further issues for that time frame? approx. how long does it take you to convert back?by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
Nothing new to report. I did have an Echo done the other day. All results were basically normal so far as I could tell. I have an appointment with Dr, Natale next Friday. Still on Elequis and Metoprolol. The Elequis is forever so far as I can tell. I do hope to get off the metoprolol. I actually already don't take it on days I'm off work. As I am more active on those days and like noby rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM

QuotePompon Things eventually returned to normal but it took a while. How long was "a while", for you? It was a little over a year. I thought that I had gone more in depth about how I was feeling at the time on my blog. I read through some posts last evening but could only find anecdotal statements about it. I just figured it was normal. I do remember on a ride at some poinby rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
I'm pretty sure I touched on this here at some point. Following my first ablation back in 2009 I experienced what I termed heart reactivity. In other words my heart did not react to efforts on the bike the way they had prior to my ablation. I could still drive my heart rate up but it took much longer to get there. Things eventually returned to normal but it took a while.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
Personally I'm not overly concerned about getting vaccinated. A.) Because I'm not real thrilled about a rushed to market vaccine. B.) There are proven treatments to quell the severity. C.) Many hospitals are at capacity because they are mostly at capacity anyway.by rocketritch - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
That doesn't answer the question as to why doctors aren't giving meds they know work.by rocketritch - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
What is really troubling is doctors are just sending patients home if they can. My wife is a nurse who works from home. As part of her job she gives advice to company employees as to actions to take if they think they have Covid or have an exposure. They report back to her and she advises as to weather they should quarantine or whatever the latest protocol is. She was telling me a storyby rocketritch - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

I have a couple times but that was back in the early days prior to my first ablation. It never lasted very long though. Upon reading George's response it is very likely this is what I was experiencing at the time. As these times I experienced this was when having an episode while out on the bike. As my events at that time were offer proceeded by a hard effort.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
