so does that mean good news that things are better?

 

Yes it does!! Back to normal rhythm!! Also let me say thank goodness for new fangled gadgets!!!

 

Thanks everyone

 

I had my ablation in 2015. No more afib until 2022. Cardiologist says the heart can find a way around the scar over time. Made me do a sleep study and found I have sleep apnea. Wife said I didn't have sleep apnea just breathe shallow. Guess I was stopping breathing around 20 times an hour. Got a cpap and have had no more episodes of afib.
Ablation was easy peasy. They do it all the time so while there could be complications, they are few and far between.
My trigger for afib was being dehydrated and tired. Hopefully they can figure it out for you.

 

Great info from someone who has had it done!

 

Evening everyone

Storms starting to move into Middle Tennessee , NWS is saying strong to severe storms by 1945hrs

The Midwest is getting hammered right now !!

 

Nice work

 

Evening everybody welp made it through the “car buying experience “ exhausting. Got it home safe and sound, dealer is an hour away and it’s construction season. I will have to spend some time reading the manual tomorrow, lot’s of new buttons

 

I’m pretty tickled how it’s turning out I especially like the matte black hardware! But next week it’s going to be fish pictures!! I’m giving myself a couple days off.

 

You’ll be making bamboo fly rods before long, real nice cabinet work. Break Time

 

Thank you Jim it makes all the difference when you enjoy doing it. You know the fly rods not a bad idea especially considering a bought one is 3 grand plus!

 

Happy to hear you are good. I'm not sure what my triggers are - it might be dehydration and tiredness - don't know. . I've tried to figure it out, but no luck so far. ALL my episodes have started at night. I do use a cpap for sleep apnea now, and have had 5 episodes since getting my cpap, so.... I've spoken with a few folks that have had it done, but I'm chicken and it's not like it happens every week....

 

My Cardiologist is always telling me “water, water, water. No coffee, no soda pop, clear pee. I don’t understand the relationship but I do try to pound the water. I feel somewhat better but a lot of trips to the head. I don’t have Afib but it’s the rest of my cardiovascular system that’s getting worn out.

 

So sorry Blevin. It is hard to let go when they have loved you so well. Thoughts and prayers that the good memories will eventually fill the hole in your heart.

 

I missed this post. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Yesterday marked 1 year that we had to put our Molly Belle down from bone cancer. I really do understand how you're feeling and know I send my heartfelt sincerest condolences.

 

I had an ablasion few years back. after meds,being shocked numerous times for afib. got the ablasion and been good since. i do take one med. brain signals go around scar tissue where they burn the tissues thats cause the afib in my case.stayed one nite in hospital and out the next day. its a cath procedure.
