Well, here I lie in my hospital bed. My heart went into A-fib yesterday around 1:15pm. Been here since 3:15. If it doesn't reset itself using the drugs they are giving me, they will have to use the paddles and shock my heart tomorrow. There's a chance that the procedure will not work right and I may die. Odds are in my favor, but like I said, you just never know. So, I wanted to drop a message here and thank everyone for their friendship through the years. Hopefully I'll talk to you all tomorrow night. God bless.

The older I get, the more I realize every day 's a gift.you should be fine, odds are in your favor. If not, ablation & koumidin are next.

don't worry about it, my father has it happen to him from time to time, they've restarted him 8 or 9 times that I know of. He takes some kind of pill and does some sort of exercise that controls it most of the time, but he has to get restarted every once in a while. BTW, he's 82 and this has been going on with him for at least 10 years. Don't sweat it

That's not what I was expecting to read when I clicked on this thread. I'm sure everything will work out for you. The best place for you to be right now is where you are, and being monitored.

I know it is scary, but it is common. Like everyone else, I too have friend that used to go into afib all the time. He took that koumodin(?) and had the paddle resets often. Over a year now he had a ablation and his ticker has been steady.

Myself, I had a different type if irregularity called SVT. I was taking drugs for it and it would still happen unexpectedly and then I could make it go away. I too had an ablation, a few years ago, and have been fine.

Hope to hear from you soon.
