Anyone have any experience with undergoing ablation? I have a consultation to discuss following a history of bigeminy/trigeminy over the past few years, of which i have been on arrythmetic & a beta blocker medication since about last November.

42/m, pretty active with daily bike riding. I seem to be 'in rythm' during exercise and activity, but fall back out at rest - same showed on stress test earlier this year.

The idea of ablation kind of freaks me out, but it would be nice to get back to normal without relying so hard on medication only. Im going in for updated labs next week so we'll see what cholesterol levels etc are.

I just had a cardio version, and the cardiologist suggested that an ablation will probably need needed in the future. One of my friends went through it last year, and said it was fairly uneventful except for the huge bruise on his left thigh

Had ablation at 15 for ectopic node in left atrium. Did great and back to running in no time. If you're active you'll recover quick. The only thing is that if you're in there for a long time on that table you might wake up with a sore back. Also you won't be able to move around at all for 4 hours if the access through the femoral artery.

Had an ablation several years ago for afib. Went great and have had no problems since.

I have had three ablation over the last 20 years for atrial flutter and fibrillation.

All have gone well. It is pretty routine.... When it is someone else's heart, pretty exciting when it is yours. You will have anesthesia and may go home same day.

It is not a "no risk" procedure, as I'm sure you have been told but it is routinely done with his results
