Sorry for the setback Mickey, but it sounds like you have really good doctors watching you closely. I hope things turn around for the better quickly.
Had another cardioversion. Got out of the hospital today. Still don't have the strength I once did. It looks like my very active lifestyle is over for good. I can still do a little bit. But for now it's rest and relaxation.
We all have to slow down when age catches up. You'll figure it all out.
I think a pacemaker is a last resort. The cardioversions are the least invasive. It'sd just an electrical shock. If they keep failing I think the next move is an ablation:
"Atrial fibrilation ablation is a procedure used to treat an irregular heart rhythm that starts in the heart's upper chambers. It's a type of cardiac ablation, which works by scarring or destroying tissue in your heart to disrupt faulty electrical signals causing the arrhythmia."
I have no idea if or when I will go back into a-fib again.
Hi Mickey. I'm just another of many well wishers who are glad you've left the hospital and hope for the best for you.
Godspeed Mickey.
