You did not have afib 15 years after ablation?

It has been 15 years since the ablation and have not had any issues since.

WOW that is a long time :)

How often do you have skipped beats or weird feeling in your heart since ablation? And what kind of lifestyle do you have? How often are you working out or what kind of sport do you do (or recommended your doctors)? And do you follow a diet like "dash" or so (nutrition in general)?

​

Sorry for the question but I am always a little hyped up an interested when people talk about such a success after an ablation.

​

I am 1 1/4 year post ablation and also did not have afib since then.

I hope my grammar is ok. Best wishes and thank you :)

Maybe one or two skipped beats if I overdue caffeine. Lifestyle is typical mid 50s, dealing with some kids in college, coaching soccer for youngest, dealing with taking care of aging parents yards and homes along with mine. Walking, biking, and some lifting if time permits. Diet is varied, 80% of time is like dash and Mediterranean. Other 20% is SAD; bbq, pizza and bacon still find their way in.
