Happy with my PM since August 2012, but flutter is really getting to me. I had gone 15 months without a cardioversion (good for me). Now I have had to get cardioverted April 3 and then again May 10. I'ts not holding this time. I'm back in my flutter. It seems I have developed my own special arrhythmia as I can be in one with a pulse of 60. They are calling it a subtle arrhythmia.

I've been on Flecainide lately and now they have added Verapamil. EP even said the combo could get me back in sinus, maybe. No more cardioversion for now. The EP has said that I may not be a candidate for another ablation because of all the work that has been done already, Maze procedure and 4 other ablations. However, he talked to the surgeon, who came up with the subtle term, and he may want to take me on. They said this type of arrhythmia generally centers in a certain location so they may be able to find it. I go back in 2 weeks to see what happens next.

Hate medication because I am very active and as we all know they can slow you down.

The Cleveland has already written up my case twice and we may be going for a third time.

Just a little down. Thanks for listening to me vent.
