Hello,

33/ Y/O male, paroxysmal a fib- recent PFA ablation in may.

I recently had an ablation in may and had my 3-month post op follow up; everything looks good so far have done some holter monitors, ekgs, ect and it’s ok so far. I guess I should be encouraged by this but for some reason I feel discouraged knowing that the A fib will come inevitably come as my EP states that it will come back at some point. How long can can younger person stay a fib free and are there long term success stories of others living a full life 20 + years without relapse?

Thank you all for the support and information

Hello,

33 year old male and I just joined this sub as I was diagnosed with Afib in August 2025. Just had my ablation (PFA) on 05/28/26, was going well for first three weeks now I have some atrial flutter and more symptoms and I’m worried that I’m stuck in a flutter. I’m going in for a ecg at a clinic today though am just really overwhelmed with all this, my RN for my EP tried blaming it on my Apple Watch on poor recordings which may be true but I’m afraid it is a flutter based on how I feel.

Overall just having a hard time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel in regards to successful ablation and getting through this healing period.

Any advice, positive stories is appreciated
