Thank you for sharing. I needed to hear your story to uplift me..had one done..still in blanket period but still having symptoms..doesnt feel good at all..everthing you shared is how you feel..if i need a second one..easy bring it

Eddie, i came across your videos on your ablations, Im having this procedure soon. Watching your 2 videos on your experience answered a lot of questions. Thanks!!

Glad you pointed out about the magnesium taurate! I had 2 episodes at 42yo from exercise and taking Flexeril. Then I saw a video about the magnesium. Started taking it religiously... then quit after 5 years because price had gone up and I didn't think I would need it and also that maybe I didn't have AFib.. IK dumb right. Anyway 6 months later I had a episode again and this time I didn't come out of it. Then started my ablation journey. Point is... That magnesium taurate is amazing!!!

I go in for mine next week. I’m so sick of only being able to concentrate on the crazy beats when I have an episode. Drives me nuts.

I experienced my first significant AFib event in late July of 2024… I was admitted to the ER (still in AFib), immediately hospitalized, had a cardioversion procedure the following day which thankfully resolved the AFib. I was then released from the hospital the same day… two weeks later the AFib returned. I then discussed ablation with my primary cardiologist (who I started seeing after my heart attack back in 2018) and a secondary cardiologist who specializes in ablation. After that (I’ve still not opted for ablation) I was completely AFib-free for 17 weeks until it surfaced again a week ago- it’s possible that this last AFib event was the result of some degree of dehydration with me at that time. Who the hell knows… I feel like I’ve been on a physical/mental roller coaster ever since this AFib started! Anyway, thank you so much for posting this video… I appreciate all of the good info you shared, and how open and honest you were about how you’re dealing with AFib. Most importantly stay positive and healthy… and watch out for those bad habits that might contribute to your issues. 👍👍

Thanks Eddie. Great to hear from someone who has been through it all.

Hi Eddie, I just saw your channel and I want to thank you for the posts you put up regarding A-FIB. I've had A_FIB on and off for 25 years...I wouod gety it checked out by doctors and cardiologists but they never seemed to want to pursue it...they would just say " your heart is healthy, it happen's...go home"... Anyway, it's been happening more and more lately and finally they are in the process of treating it, and the "Ablation" word has come up. I've been very active all my life, work out all the time, karate etc... So very healthy guy. I was never a huge binge drinker but one sip of red wine....and Whamo, I can feel the shipped beats just like you. Anyway, I guess my question to you is "How are you now?" it's been a few years since your second ablation....and also, are you able to work out like you used to? Do you need to be careful working out...and can we live long happy lives if this is treated? Thank so much...your video really helped me, at this point I'm just scared and you seem to have had the same kind of symptoms that I have...although I'm older now 63. Thank Eddie!

Hi Eddie. I just came across this. Realize you posted it a long time ago. I am a little similar to you. I was an endurance athlete through college as a swimmer. I literally used to swim 18000 meters a day at a high pulse, so maybe that had something to do with this. I also have always liked to drink. It's part genetic being Irish, but my favorite thing has always been to workout hard then go get some beers. I've had afib issues over the past year and a half. They're really bad and I've been to the er a few times for it. I have an ablation scheduled for Tuesday and am super nervous about it but am hoping for a cure. Not sure I can permanently give up drinking though. I hope you're ok these days. Will see if you're still posting anything. Thanks for this video 8 years ago.

Thank you

Just had ablation #2 today. How long did you wait to resume your fitness regime after the procedure?

Very helpful! Doing my first this week

Hey Eddie thanks for posting these it’s very helpful to know you’re not alone! My husband is suffering from the same thing and has the same exact history as you, very healthy, athlete etc and had 1 ablation 2 years ago and now thinking of a second cause his a fib is back… I see this video was from 6 years ago I was wondering can you provide an update on this and if you’re still in normal rhythm? Thank you so much. Just trying to find some positive is all of this….

I am a 70 year old female with AFIB. I also have Congestive Heart failure and Emphysema. I am undergoing the Cardioversion procedure on 6/20/24. My heart Doctor stated that I was far to weak and fragile to undergo the Ablation method. The AFIB has made my life a living hell. I am emotionally and mentally drained from worrying about where my next breath is going to be enough to sustain me. I am very concerned that this Cardioversion procedure will not help or be long lasting, however I seem to have no choice but to try and see. One thing for sure, I advise all parents to have a lengthy conversation with their teenagers about how they treat their bodies while going thru life (drinking, smoking cigarettes and drugs) - are definite culprits for a short life, AFIB and so many other diseases.

I get horrible charlie cramps in my neck chest eyes omg one right after another.I inherited mine..my mom her mom her sisters..omg its horrible.My ablation dodnt work cause it wouldnt a fib on the table

I had two ablation procedures several years apart. The results in my case are very good.

Any risks from radiation exposure due to fluoroscopy used at the time of procedure. I read it more than a CT scan

I had two ablations in one month, and two cardio versions

Thanks for sharing, it helps … Loved the tell tale heart (Poe) reference … funny

Didn’t you impersonate Justin Jeffre in that Scheer RL parody?

Eddie, I am really glad to see your video. I wish I could join a support group like this. I am 53 and was just diagnosed with Afib and end stage congestive heart failure. The mental and physical toll on me has been horrendous.The 5 meds that I am on is making me feel completely debilitated. I am now refusing to take some of them and feel noticeably better. I look forward to a procedure that will restore normal physical activity. I hope others will comment on how to deal with loss of work/income as we journey through this nightmare.

Hey how you doing after your surgery.. just checking now ..

Hey bud, are you still afib free ? Hope so

Magnesium is a laxative.. it's works but then gets too much

I had a pvc ablation 6 years ago. Unfortunately 2 weeks ago i had AF at 189bpm. My attacks always take place after a bacterial infection, this time in my kidney. I did have too much to drink the weekend prior as well. Alcohol is the problem! Due for a cardioversion in three weeks.

How did your esophagus do? Heard its quite risky burning right next to esophagus.

Hey Eddie. Great video. Had a SVT Ablation done 8 months ago. No problems so far. NOW dealing with PVC'S had a Ablation 2 weeks ago and they couldn't find them. Very frustrating because they are still kicking my ass. Go back for follow up to see what's next for me. Glad your doing well! Take care. Keep us updated.

Are you still happy with your experience?? I know this video is super old but thought I’d check. I’m getting an ablation on 3/10 and I’m scared. I really appreciate your video!!!

You explained that to a tea thanks it makes it feel like we are not alone cheers

Hi Eddie...enjoyed your journey and description of the ablation. I too am recovering from a second ablation and yes, I had chest pressure while walking the hospital corridors. Will remain taking pradaxa and soltalol while recovering for 3 months until evaluation of my ablation. Good, steady sinus rhythm so far 3 weeks into recovery with the exception of a couple of short, AFIB episodes, that quickly reversed into sinus. How are you doing?

I wish you would do another update. You really nailed it in describing what it’s like when you have AFIB … scary.

Hope you're continuing to do well. I'm almost 72. Had an ablation about 13 years ago to correct a type of SVT called atrial tachycardia. I was fine for two years and then they returned. There are maneuvers that can be done to convert a tachycardia to normal rhythm but for me a quick/ abrupt shoulder stand works very well. But yeah, you feel like you're gonna die when your heart rate goes to 239 BPM which mine does. Comes on abruptly and stops abruptly. Thank God I only get about 3 episodes a year. Ugh

Why are you just now thinking about alcohol abstinence with what you already know? If you need help you should get it. If you do you're not alone.

Hi Eddie, Thanks for posting this video. I’m planning on scheduling my first ablation in Feb this year. I’m really scared about the procedure because everyone has a completely different experience. I wish they could fully put me under. Would love to hear more about the procedure from you.

How are you doing now in Dec 2022?

Excellent …. Thank you

You are handsome

I have AFib, to get my heart back in rhythm I eat jalapeño peppers.

Thanks for these videos. It has put my mind at ease quite a bit. It's good to see you can still drink coffee too. I was pretty worried about that because I love coffee, and I've had to switch to decaf for the last year (yuck)

You're way too young. I had an ablation in conjunction with a pacemaker/defibrilator. Have afib along with congestive heart failure. Maybe they want t keep me alive first, different case.

Having mine done in two days. Well I guess a day now. I've had afib for probably at least 20 years now. My afib has gotten so bad that I'm just now recovering *knock on wood* from a week long episode. It's miserable. It made me so weak that I couldn't perform daily tasks.

Great video man. Very informative. How are you doing lately? How are the lifestyle changes suiting you? All the best.

Have you ever considered the keto diet/lifestyle? Check out Dr. Ken Berry on You Tube. If done right it can make BIG changes in your life, your health,

im an athlete also and it seems to be chest infections that get me, just had an ablation hopefully its gone now

HI Eddie. How much time did you have to take off from work?

How are you doing now? I’m being referred for my first after losing 100 pounds.

Thanks for the comments re. lifestyle. I'll be cutting back and checking results.

In a selfish way...I wish I had a few bad habits to give up!...But at age 75. this non-drinker, very moderate coffee drinker dude is scheduled for an ablation in a few weeks. Your out-front presentation is welcome--most ablation patients are middle-aged, or older...I will be so upset, if my procedure does not work!...however, my doctor has mentioned that guys like me-in persistent AFIB for a couple years now-occasionally have to re-do the procedure. Whatever...at this point, I do not have much choice...Did they offer you the option of not being "put under"?...Some countries do offer that option, and I would be tempted to go that route...although the pain factor is there. I do not like the idea of getting sick coming right after the surgery!...did they shove that strange tube, that takes photos of your heart, down your throat, after you were under? That situation can be avoided too, depending on the doctor, etc.

Getting ready to get reset Wednesday Hope it works, if not am ready for the ablation, thank you for the experience and the ‘tips
