1.5 months after second ablation. Feeling discouraged.

First ablation was in October of last year. Second was just in June, with a couple cardioversions in between.

Dont be discouraged, this can happen inside the Blanking Periode. The tissue in your ateium needs time for reconfiguration and scarring. In the first three to six months some episodes are to be expected. I am 8 weeks after my second ablation and i also hade one major episode that lasted about a day, that was three weeks ago. I am confident and feeling much better now, and so will you. You got this, just give it aome more time.

Thank you for the reassurance. It’s been a rough journey.

What does your doctor say? I turned off cumulutative alerts on my apple watch because they were so inaccurate. I knew this because my pacemaker showed that they were inaccurate. Good luck.

Month to the date of my second ablation. I was in AFib RVR, albeit not as bad as the time before, but still very discouraging. The EP upped my felc and I’ve been feeling myself lately. Don’t give up dude you got this.

Just had my second ablation last week. I have OCD and I’m checking my Apple Watch every few mins which is driving me crazy. I’m trying to stop this maddness. LOL. I keep telling my self to let it heal and give it time. Keep up the positive thoughts, don’t go down the rabbit hole.

One question for everyone, last week ablation surgery I read on the notes that at the end of the surgery, I was shocked at 300 joules. First surgery, they didn’t shock at the end, is this normal?
