    Hello!

    I just had the ablation of the heart procedure yesterday.  A few days ago, I had my heart begin to beat super fast and I went to the er where they decided to admit me.  My heart doctor and his team decided to do the ablation of the heart on me and I am feeling much better.  I am surprised that after this procedure my doctor has said I don't need to take the beta blockers anymore because of the procedure done on me.  Has anyone else have this done and how do you feel afterwards?

    Hi Nathan, 

    Glad to hear that the procedure went well. I had an ablation many years ago to treat arrhythmia but I also have mitral valve prolapse which cannot be fixed by ablation. Be well and stay informed.

    Hello Nathan, I am very glad to hear the procedure was a success. We are blessed here in Minnesota with great medical doctors. Kudos for being able to get off the beta blocker medication. -Jake

    Hi Nathan,

    Since 11/16/2019 to date, I've had 6 Ablations, 8 Cardioversions, 9 TEE's, 1 Stent and 1 TAVR (Google it) and a 2nd Loop Recorder.  I am off all of the large variety of heart medications that I've taken over the years except for Metoprolol.  Apparently all of the Afib and Aflutter that I had were actually being caused by the "worn out" aortic heart valve.  Once that was replaced, that was the end of all my heart problems.  I look/feel perfect and have no restrictions on my life other than whatever my body tells me....like not running a marathon, not entering a weight lift competition etc.  I'm happy to hear you got "fixed" in one session.  God Bless!
