todays checkup

Good report today. Am paced less that 1% of time. 5 short episodes of a fib in last 6 months, all less than 10 seconds. 2 VT both less than 3 seconds. Turned on PMT intervention for first time , all other settings same. Cardiologist not upset that I discontinued rythmol because of so many side effect. Stated of afib becomes a problem to call him and he will schedule ablation for offending node. Thank you to all who supported me in the past difficult year Trish

Surprised

Surprised your EP suggested you go right to an ablation. There are quite a few other drugs than rythmol to control afib. Or is it you have problems with the type of drug to control aifb? Have you been able to try others?

I haven't gone for the ablation because my EP seems to think ablation might not help me and has chosen to stay on the medication routine.

These are just questions on my part. Hope everything continues to go well for you.

It was good you told the Doctor that you stopped taking it. That wasn't hard. :-)

Glad you are feeling better.
