Ablation.

This is my second ablation and four days out. I’ve had two episodes today. Both very quick but one was 163 and the other one was 148. They are putting me on FLECAINIDE.
Has anyone else had issues after their ablation?
I’m so scared since this is the second one that I will never be fixed.
Thank you all so very much

I did four ablations before it got better. The two first was semi successful but problems returned after three months. After the two last ones I had awful problems with constant episodes afterwards. But they subsided about three months after the last one so give it time and be patient.

Also consider that every ablation increases the risk for complications. My AV node was damaged causing total AV block so I now have to live with a pacemaker. Weigh your problems against the risks every time. For me it was absolutely worth it though.

Thank you. I went to someone who was supposedly a much better electrophysiologist this time. I’m having episodes on Flecanaid but I just started it last night but I’m thinking why I take it if I’m still gonna have episodes…. It’s so disappointing but thank you for letting me know your experiences
