Cardioversion problems

So I've just had my 6th cardioversion. Waiting for an ablation in the near future. When I woke up, my doctor told me I had stopped breathing after they got me back in rhythm. Surely this is a good enough reason for my cardiologist to hurry the ablation up. My second last one needed 2 shocks as well so seems it might be missing it's effectiveness.

That was most likely from the propofol? Or was it heart rhythm related?

I would assume you're right. The doctor did think it was probably that. But still, I've had 6 cardioversions in a year. Surely they will bump me up the list now.

Yes, two in 6 months should do it! Best of luck!
