Quotemwcf I'll see how noise(loud music) affects me Thursday night. Going to a Metallica concert with my son. Enjoy! I will. Saw them during their Fuel tour with my wife. Was a great concert at 1/4 the price :>). It's ridiculous what it costs to go to a concert these days.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM

I had a 2 week run of what appeared to be affib on my Kardia recorder. I had a cardioversion scheduled but converted on my own a few days before. That was almost a month ago now and I have been in NSR ever since. My 3 month post ablation period will be in 3 days.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
I use zinc based products like coldeze. I swear by it. I will have to remember the coconut oil next time.by rocketritch - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
QuoteCarey Curious why getting a Watchman would cure all atrial myopathy. I wondered about this also when I read about the 60% decline (in dementia) for people on AC's with afib diagnoses, since one of the possibilities included comorbidity (mini strokes by clots coming from other veins, etc, vs just the atrium?). Particularly interested myself is I'm getting past the blanking period.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteCarey So Carey Carrie...you say that high BP will kill you with or without Afib, but that wasn't the question. If you no longer have high BP because it is well controlled with meds...and you no longer have Afib (because you've had a Natale ablation), then why does BP still register on the CHADS score? And again, isn't this score for people who currently have Afib?? Becauby rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
A very busy wek behind me. Drove back to the shore to purchase a 65 Falcon Futura after coming off of night shift. Had a wonderful dinner with the family while we were there at a marina along deep creek Maryland. Made for a long day driving but had good company. Couple that with a 3 day work week. My heart is still behaving itself and my back continues to improve. Life is very good.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteMissSunshine Rocketritch - I’m just wondering how you are doing? Hope that your heart is behaving itself? Any PACs or PVCs? Doing well thanks for asking. If you read back over my posts or check my blog you'll see I've had quite the time of it. I had some runs over PAC's and PVC's early on but absolutely nothing for the past 3 week but wonderful NSR.

When they did my cardioversion back in early August they almost did not do a TEE. EP asked if I had been regular with my eliquis since my ablation in July. I said that I had been. Then a short time later he dicided to go ahead and do one just as a percaution.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
Nothing I can really add to what has already been said. I've been on a rollercoaster myself since my 3rd ablation in July with Natale. However, the past three weeks I have seen great improvement like turing off a light switch. Hang in there, its still early on for you.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
So sorry you are having to deal with this. Hopfully things will get straightened out for you soon.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
Nothing new to report. Had a nice conversation with Sharon yesterday afternoon. Took a short trip to the shore over the weekend and committed to purchasing a 65 falcon Futura as well. Life is good.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM

Another week of wonderful NSR. Also a short weekend trip to the shore with the family. Life is good.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
I can offer support and well wishes but have never experienced anything as you are right now. As you know I have been expereinceing some issues as well and having similar hopes.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
Quotemwcf Thanks rocketritch. Fingers crossed that things smooth out after the blanking period for us both! Agreed. I have been in NSR all this week. The previous two weeks were pure hell. Between being out of rhythm, sciatica and averaging 3-4 hours of sleep a night I felt like a ticking time bomb. Couple that with being off the eleqiuis for the three days leading up to my nerve block whby rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
Quotemwcf In July I had my LAA ablated as it was one source of my arrhythmia. When speaking with my EP the following day I discussed the possibility of the watchman device. He said that for me it was not yet an option for 2 reasons. First and foremost Wass the fact that there may need to be more work done on the LAA. Secondly at my age ,52, insurance would not want to pay for it. Forgiveby rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM

Quotejpeters So, I'm not surprised reading that some afibbers need a longer blanking period than usual. I may be one of them. And you too. I too greatly appreciate hearing people's personal experiences. What you said is very similar to what his EP told him. I would think that the blanking period would be connected not only to the amount of work done in the heart but specific areby rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM

QuoteGeorgeN Remember Ken's advice: < It took the better part of a year for me to get back to normal following my forst ablation in 2009.

Quotemwcf rocketritch, Glad you're back in NSR. If you don't mind me asking, what was Dr Natale's findings and verdict on the procedure he did for you this last July? During my ablation, and following induced affib my heart was calm. After doing some work on the LAA he moved to the coronary sinus. This is when my affib organized organically starting at the LAA. After workiby rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
Quotewolfpack I wouldn't schedule a second ablation based on one episode. It's only one data point and one can draw an infinite number of lines through a single point. I agree. Afib is tricky and like I mentioned before, can come and go as it did in my case. MWCF, I'll respond to your question here. This thread has been hijacked enough alreadyby rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
Back in wonderful NSR. Not sure when it happened because I feel like crap.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteCarey Okay, but who's taking Amiodarone? A surpising number of people who shouldn't be. I was wondering the same thing. BTW I converted back to NSR at some point this evening. I generally feel it right away but have felt really crappy the past couple days. That coupled with getting called out to work last night.by rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
Quotejpeters Does he have you on medications? Yes. I started back on Ticosyn and Metoprolol following the ablation. Then I switched back to Flecanide and Metoprolol because I had the coincidental nerve pain when on the Ticosyn. I was off the Ticosyn for several days before starting back on the Flecanide.

Following my first PVI ablation back in 2009 I was afib free for the first five years. Following that, some years I had anywhere from one episode over a years time to thinking I was going to need another ablation in others. There really did not seam to be any rhyme or reason to it. Last year (2017) I probably felt the best I have ever felt. Was doing allot of cycling and was riding really strby rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
Second cardiversion since my July ablation is sceduled for next Thursday. I wish they could have gotten me in sooner but that was the best that they could do. So now I wait. I'm a little frustrated but I knew going in that there would be the possibility of another procedure so I'll continue to go with the flow. On the positive side of things my back pain is allot better these days anby rocketritch - AFIBBERS FORUM
