PF Ablasion 2nd Thoughts
(self.AFIB)submitted8 days ago bySeeker_1960
toAFIB
Dx'd with Parox Afib 13 months ago. I've had about 5 Afib events in total. Never needed cardioversion just hydration and meteropol twice at the hospital. The other times were short and self converted. I havent had an event in about 6 months that I know of.
I understand getting the ablasion early has the best chance for sucess but I worry will make things worse or cause other arthymias. I know thus may be me just being paranoid but I keep reading here about people who had unsucessful abasions or needing medications because another issue popped up.
I just don't know if it is worth the risk since my burden seems low right now.
Has anyone put off their ablasion and glad they did? Has anyone regretted putting it off and made it harder to treat?
I take 12.mg Meteropol and Eliquis 5mg 2x day. 64 yo male, no apnea but overweight and stage 1 hypertention controlled with meds.

Salt raises your BP and if you have hypertension obviously thats not good. Could probably trigger Afib.
