Newly diagnosed

Hello 😃 I was diagnosed with paroxysmal AF last week, I'm actually relieved to find out what has been plaguing me for a number of years, thought I was losing my mind. My AF is intermittent so wasn't always picked up on ECG. I've been put on diltiazem and awaiting a pulmonary vein abalation. Im just wondering of anyone else has had this procedure?

I had this done in London 2 years ago this March, under general, through both groins, so far so good, did take a couple of weeks to settle down
Occasionally I get an extra beat thrown in from the ventricle, but my consultant assures me its ok
I also got a mobile ECG which goes on my IPhone and if I get stressed or Anxious I take a reading and mail to my consultant, although I think I can read the ECG myself now😄
Good luck and I hope it does the trick

I am surprised they did not start you on meds first before the ablation. Have you been given a date for the operation? The 2 meds I tried did not work so am now waiting to see the cardiologist about possible ablation.

At 40 I had a mild heart attach with a stent, family history seemed the same but was living a stressful life as a senior manager, still pretty stressful when AF occurred
Since then got fitter, resting rate 58 and I belt the daylights out of a road bike
I would say there's a corralation to stress (my personal view)
