    Hi all, I,been using the FF since having an ablation in Aug 2022 for proximal afib/flutter. I got zero info. from the electrocardiologist/process other than to resume my normal life. I,m a serious cyclist (road,gravel,mtb,
    cyclocross) and cross country skier. I was left to figure it out myself, hence the FF. I have an exercise phyisiologist who monitors my FF data. No afib/flutter since ablation. My question is who among you has had an ablation for afib has not had any afib since and has been prescibed an anticoagulant and if there is a defined timeliness for taking it.

    • I’ve been waiting to get diagnosed with AFib. I’m 34 can’t do more than 15 mins of activity without it spiking to 165 BPM. Was released from ER, they did qn Echocardiogram but then lost it so Cardiologist had to schedule another one for the 22nd of March, to ensure its not a valve issue. But i was working two construction jobs, got Covid in December then Mycoplasma Pneumoniae in Jan, and ive been on no anticoagulant meds other than just take aspirin. Thought I could be given something in the meantime. Got the FF X2 to continie trying to do what i normally do so they can see the tests. Ita been quite frustrating, and this has been getting worse since January.

    • I had ablation for paroxysmal AF in November 2022. My cardiologist recommended 6 weeks of anticoagulant and 3 months of Beta Blocker which I’m tapering off now. So far no episodes of AF since the ablation but it’s early days. FF certainly very useful in monitoring my exercise as this was one of the triggers.
