Ahh yes, a cardio version. Had a few of those. No biggie, in and out same day. It's when they have to do an ablation that it sucks.
GOOD LUCK!!

They just bought in the machine they're going to shock me with. Smart of the doctors to use one of those older "dumb" chargers. They will charge things from the dead, where the "smart" chargers wont. Hang in there Ferris. |

My wife went through all that.
First they tried to treat it with drugs.
Then the cardioversion.
Finally the ablation, which worked for about 2 years.
Now she's back in afib and just living with it.
Good luck, Robert!

Yeah. He just hit me with 100 joules. Most times it's 150 or 200. Mine was slight and he probably would have let go if I didn't have some other issues. Straightened right up. I've got a few itchy spots on my chest but that's all. He's got me on Tambocor (flecainide) and doesn't expect any issues. Will go back to see him in a few months. Thanks for the thoughts guys. |

Getting old sucks but at least we have some knowledge and life experience.

I’ve been taking Flecainide for about 6 months to straighten out the heartbeat that got messed up by the Covid vaccine. Not much 75 mg twice a day. Seems to work well enough. |
