My 2nd Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation - Personal Experience

My personal experience. 34 year old former athlete. imdb.me/eddiejohnson Please share any comments or questions below. This video is meant to be a resource to help others who are feeling anxious or worried about their condition.
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!
I feel good. Haven’t had any major issues since the 2nd one. I am able to train intensely and live my life.
@@EddieJohnsonActor Thanks so much for replying... your vids are great and have helped me in this process, all the best to you. BTW, were you in the CFL? I'm Canadian.. thanks again!!
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.
@@spojce9 good luck with your ablation! The second one seem to help for me. (Knock on wood) I’m still feeling good. Make sure you’re getting your minerals in. Magnesium taurate has been super helpful for me.
Thank you
Just had ablation #2 today. How long did you wait to resume your fitness regime after the procedure?
I eased back into it. I can’t remember exactly how long I waited. But there’s a healing process for the scarring inside the heart. I want to say 3 to 6 months but that seems long. Just got out of the gym. Been feeling great though. Only time I noticed it is when I have a couple cocktails or too much caffeine.
@@EddieJohnsonActor Respect to you
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….
@VictoriaGhrayeb Feeling good 👍🏻
So amazing to hear I’m happy for you and glad you’re still in regular rhythm and praying the same can happen for my husband. Not sure where you live, but would u mind sharing your doctor you used ? Not sure we wanna use his current cardiologist for his second ablation.
@@VictoriaGhrayeb dr vaseghi ucla arrhythmia center
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.
Try getting on some electrolytes. Especially Magnesium Taurate
Sorry to hear that though
@HCLF-George ....It is very important that you like your Cardiologist. If you do not like him/her (for whatever reason), you will not trust their suggestions and decision making. As my previous comment stated, I had the Cardioversion on 6/20/24, and I am so gloriously happy and blessed that I made this decision. No doubt, this procedure saved my life and absolutely improved the quality of my life. The Cardiologist does not do this procedure, they will send you to consult with another type of heart doctor, they call them electricians. If you cannot find any reviews on your current heart doctor, I would recommend asking your primary care doctor to get you an appointment with a well established doctor. Can you tell me why you don't like your doctor ?
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
Not that I’m aware of.
@@EddieJohnsonActor thanks
I had two ablations in one month, and two cardio versions
Oh man, you win! Jeez. Have you done anything about it?
@EddieJohnsonActor I'm 57 years old, I've had afib for 30 years. Luckily, I had my ablations at the top hospital in Kansas city. After the second ablation, life has been good. My cardiologist says I'm very healthy, and took me off blood thinners! I still stay away from caffeine and other triggers. I wish you all the best my friend
@@yankeeuk1 I've been feeling good since my 2nd ablation as well. Glad you're feeling well!
Thanks for sharing, it helps … Loved the tell tale heart (Poe) reference … funny
Didn’t you impersonate Justin Jeffre in that Scheer RL parody?
I think so
@@EddieJohnsonActor Justin Jeffre is a member of 98 Degrees. I just wanna say the impersonation of him that u did was pretty accurate. Idk if u remember being on Paul Scheer’s sketch, but when u (as Justin) tried to get a high five from him that was pretty funny. Bcuz back in the 90s he was like that one member no one really cared about lol. It’s sad in general, but u nailed it. No words, no delivery, just actions to make the role more “realistic”😂😂😂
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.
Sorry to hear that. Definitely get on a consistent dose of electrolytes, including magnesium taurate
Hey how you doing after your surgery.. just checking now ..
Doing great 👍🏻
Hey bud, are you still afib free ? Hope so
I am. Feeling good. You?
@@EddieJohnsonActor doing well after ablation , 4 months so far .. keeping fingers crossed
Magnesium is a laxative.. it's works but then gets too much
I haven't experienced that with the taurate. But I know what you're talking about.
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.
No issues
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.
Ectopics are a bugger to find, one day bouncing around, the next perfect NSR
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
Me too 202 beats ....SVT.funny stuff but when you say you have SVT and folks think you said you have an STD lol lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ginajones2328 ha that's hysterical though it hasn't happened to me (not yet anyway) . Good luck to you.
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.

Getting mine first in March. 65 yo. Very fit. Go into AFib about once a week for anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Mostly asymptomatic just a little tired when in AFib. Just had an echocardiogram. Doctor hasn't commented on it yet but tech said everything looks good. I'm close to Penn Medicine so I go there The new technology is pulse field ablation. From my research it is much safer than RF ablation as it doesn't heat the tissue around the treated area. .Cryo freezes an area so I think it is better than Cryo. Last visit I didn't know about it so I didn't as the doctor which one he uses. He did say Penn has 85 to 90 percent success on the first ablation. The general country wide success rate is around 60 to 65 percent. Sorry for the long post. Good luck.
@@lrc87290 OH wow, Im curious about pulse field ablations?
@@kduilio it looks superior safety wise. I just messaged my cardiologist what type of energy they would use in my ablation. He said RF. I did more research and found out that U of Pennsylvania is participating in a trial for pulsed field ablation. Trial will end in June 2023. I am not a candidate for the trial as the fact that I didn't try meds to control the rhythm. I think I am going to ask when they think it will be available for me to choose it. Are you near any large top hospitals?
@@kduilio forget to say Boston Scientific bought the company Farapulse Inc that invented it so I think it must be good.
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)
Gross! J/k. Yeah, coffee is a tough one to quit. I have approx 20-30 ounces/day. Just be patient with the procedure. You'll feel like you can get rocking and rolling after 3 days. Take it easy for a few weeks.
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.
Yeah, every case is different. I hope you're doing well otherwise though!
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.
Yeah, it continues to map more beats and get worse over time. You should feel considerably better. Best of luck to you!
Great video man. Very informative. How are you doing lately? How are the lifestyle changes suiting you? All the best.
Doing great. Able to train. Still drink coffee. Electrolytes are key. I also started using a CPAP machine.
@@EddieJohnsonActor that’s cool. Yes, ordered some electrolyte powder the other day. I’ve been using a CPAP machine for about 8 years now. Keep making videos!
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?
It depends on what you're doing. I'd say minimum 3 days. There is a bit of pressure buildup from the inflammation after. 7 days ideally. More if you can do it. No lifting anything remotely heavy though for a few weeks from what I remember. I remember feeling pretty decent right after but it's deceptive. Take the time off if you can. If you're at a desk job, you may be ok sooner.
How are you doing now? I’m being referred for my first after losing 100 pounds.
Feeling pretty good. I am able to crank out some pretty intense exercise. I swear by electrolytes though. Especially potassium and magnesium taurate.
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.
Hopefully it's a one and done. I needed two. But 4 years apart. I wasn't presented any options. I'd rather be out anyways. Not sure about the heart mapping thing. I assume they had something to monitor my beats because they had to seek out and burn the areas that are overactive. I wouldn't stress it. Just make sure you take whatever meds they prescribe. Clotting after the procedure can be an issue for some.
Getting ready to get reset Wednesday Hope it works, if not am ready for the ablation, thank you for the experience and the ‘tips
I hope it goes great. My 2nd one is holding up nicely.
Youre lucky youve had one !!!! ive been waiting 5 years in the UK for one let alone two.. id do,anything to stop feeling so suicidal over these demonic palpitations. I got no life, nor have i got £9000 to pay for it private.
I'm currently where you were at and strongly considering ablation for my afib. You have such a similar story to mine. Especially the coffee and alcohol triggers. Was easier to have given up the alcohol than coffee. For me, the coffee can be just as problematic than the alcohol especially if drinking coffee while on beta blockers. You had mentioned still getting dizzy while climbing stairs. I attribute that to the coffee. Back before I had afib, coffee would cause that and when I would give it up all symptoms associated with coffee would go away. If I do have coffee, I mix it with chicory so I'm getting less caffeine while still experiencing a good cup of coffee. I've read where chicory was used during WW2 when coffee was rationed to stretch it out.
Still feeling good from my last ablation. I drink 3-4 cups of coffee a day. Train. Magnesium Taurate and electrolytes are key though. Sleep apnea can cause it too. Good Luck!
Before you go there make sure you at the strong levels of Vitamin D3, magnesium and potassium. Good luck been there.
I have enjoyed all of your videos so much! You are a gifted actor :)
Just had it done 3 days ago, where you are at time of video! So Helpful. How are you doing?
Feeling great. The 2nd one has been great for me.
How has yours been?
@@EddieJohnsonActor Hi Eddie, it was a little rocky at first, or maybe I should say I felt alot of post trauma and anxiety which disrupted my sleep. A year later I feel like it has finally eased up a bit in my day to day thoughts. But I still try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I read a book about afib which had some good tips for overall resisting triggers. My best to you!
@@slipstreammonkey integrate magnesium taurate. I take two/day
Where are you in 2021 with it?
Feeling great.
