Wondering

I am wondering if I should see a second EP. Mine seems informative enough, but he is not willing to consider ablation unless I have tried all …

Good Luck
Seek a second opinion! Preferably at a teaching hospital in your area. Ask about anti arrythmial meds and what your options are. Many people have done well with ablation, mine was six weeks ago and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be successful. It takes two to six months for your heart to heal from the procedure so it can be considered a success or failure. Good luck to you.

Close Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)
I have had palpitations all my life, but never had them checked out until 7 years ago - the was diagnosed with afib. I have paroxysmal afib. I believe this is hereditary in my family - my sister, mother, aunt, and cousin have all had it. My cousin recently had an ablation, which is the first I was hearing of this (after 6 years with a cardiologist!)
Treatments
- Metoprolol Working / Worked
- I have paroxysmal afib and the incidents are becoming more frequent. I have recently moved to an EP who just wants to keep increasing my dosage. From the sound of the side effects of the rythym meds, I am not sure I want those for use. I take aspirin, ot coumadin.
