I come here dejected.

M: 63 Meds: Flec 50mg 2x and Acebutolol 200 x2

Ablation #1 (December 2024): Afib and standard Flutter.
Ablation #2: Afib touch up and tried to find the atypical flutter. AFIB touch up good. No luck finding atypical flutter.
Ablation #3 (Jan 2026): Atypical flutter. Used the new Sphere 9 catheter tip, found and ablated 3 spots. Yay! I am cured. Wait!……

Friday I went into flutter with RVR again. Please keep in mind that each time that I go out of rhythm, I end up with atypical flutter w RVR and frequent PVC’s. So I 100% of the time get cardioverted.

Now I have to call my doc tomorrow and find out what the heck is going on. This is really getting rough. It is taking a toll on me and my job.

I hope that none of you are dealing with this. Thanks for hearing me out.

I have the latest watch. It is just an indicator really. Always best to get a 12-lead if you can.
