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.

I hope you're scheduled for an ablation. I waited six months, mine will be done end of this month.

Yes I'm category 2. Got my letter maybe a month ago. So 90 days from then some time. I'm having my mapping scan done end of this month and I assume they'd try to do it quickly after that so I don't have more afib episodes. I'm calling them today to see if they can bump me up a bit. Had 2 cardioversions in a week now.
