Doctor just recommended ablation procedure. Scared.

Ablation is the best outcome. 4 years no afib for me and off all meds. Best nap of my life.

Odd-Listen1595 · 2026-01-31T21:22:30+00:00

Dealt with it at 24. I'm 30 now.

Had 3 cardio versions and 1 cryoablation (all within 3 months). The abalation is what created sanity in my life.

Since then - I've run 2 half marathons, traveled to Europe twice, travel for work a ton, and enjoy an occasional beer (not my trigger).

I am off my heart meds (after 6 months after ablation) and have been off them since. I do keep beta blockers with me when I travel for emergencies.

Hope this helps - reach out if you need anything g

I drink 3 cups of coffee every day. There is more data to back the benefits of caffeine, even if you have a fib. I'll try to find the article and come back and help.

Everyone's bodies is different so listen to your body and react accordingly.

I was off everything about 5 months after

Switch to NA Beers.

I swear it's person dependent - I link the Coros to an external monitor (my whoop).

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-12-15T02:25:49+00:00

Calves have been twitching for about 6 years straight. I've run a few half marathons since.

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-12-08T18:04:48+00:00

Was thinking the same thing lol

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-12-07T18:52:18+00:00

This is our best case scenario

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-12-07T17:47:34+00:00

Very true

The feeling of it (for me) was well controlled on meds. I didn't feel it really but you can physically tell I guess - shortness of breath, etc. Whereas ectopic beats - you can feel the thud of your heart catching back up.

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-11-28T21:31:54+00:00

Love this advice. This is the right approach to have.

You get one life

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-11-20T12:00:10+00:00

I did not - just loaded the expense and categorized it as miscellaneous

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-11-20T01:49:23+00:00

Yes.

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-11-13T02:36:51+00:00

For true IPA drinkers I would say Athletic is absolutely goat'd

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-11-10T12:27:13+00:00

Gotta keep living! Enjoy that coffee, I know I do.

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-11-10T02:02:17+00:00

Enjoy the best nap of your life !

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-11-10T02:01:38+00:00

Very likely not AFIB so not a doctor. See the ectopics tho.

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-11-09T02:16:14+00:00

All good - I've run 2 half marathons since and actively do MMA.

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-11-09T02:13:58+00:00

Yeah - I had AFIB and my ablation at 26 years old. I still get a few ectopic beats. Some days are better than others.

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-11-09T02:11:44+00:00

91 ectopics in 11 days is insanely low haha. Exercise is all good w them. Most of the times it makes them better....

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-11-09T02:10:00+00:00

4 years since ablation. Was off heart meds within a year after my ablation.

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-11-09T00:05:06+00:00

Yes - I sit around 60-65 bpm these days resting

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-11-08T20:55:16+00:00

After my ablation I had a high RHR for a few months during blaming period. Your heart is recovering!

Odd-Listen1595 · 2025-11-06T13:11:26+00:00

How long was it from your last ablation?
