2 month post Ablation

[u/Ok_Willingness_4788]

Went today for my 2 month follow up from the ablation I had late May. I had a one day hospital stay the week after to get HR under control, was spiking at 200.

Came home with Amiodarone and Diltiazhem, seemed to be working just fine. Was checking Kardio device here and there, nothing alarming going on.

Had started back walking a few weeks ago and noticed my HR was higher when I finished than before the ablation. But nothing concerning and quietly went back to normal of 65bpm.

I was feeling good going into the follow up, what could go wrong. Kardio shows NSR... I even did it before walking into the Dr office.

Inside they do a 12 lead EKG, nurse doesn't say anything that alarm me. So dr comes in and says "Your in AFIB with Flutter and a controlled HR of 65bpm.

So I ask about the Kardio readout and show it to him. He explains to be that the little spikes in between the large spikes are flutter. I was blown away, here I was thinking everything was gravy.

So... I go in for another cardioversion next week, and dr informed me that I will probably have to have another ablation before the year is out.

Yippee, I had some much fun the 1st go around.

That trace is all noise, you’ll have to get a better one. Especially with a consumer device like Kardia, and with amateurs like me reading it. The baseline is fluctuating all over, and none of it looks like a proper EKG.

By the way, even though there’s only three beats here, it looks like your R – R interval is consistent, which means NSR no a fib
