Their Stories

Cardiac ablation, Weight decreased and Atrial fibrillation

10.25.2021 – Relief!

10.26.2021 – Onset of Afib. I'm in the ER. Also my heart has been racing for hours. It's serious. I'm being admitted to (b)(6) Center.

10.27.2021 – I'm hospitalized dealing with what has become constant Afib, maybe brought on, but at least triggered by my Moderna booster Monday morning.

10.28.2021 – Surgical procedure to correct Afib possibly caused by Moderna booster

11.1.2021 – Afib returned for 2hrs last night. Also, more importantly, I filled out a complete report re: my negative reaction to the booster, but the form didn't let me put in my age, nor the hospital test results. I requested a phone call to fill in the blanks

11.10.2021 – Afib and weight loss continue. I'm now forced to take 4 different meds that were not in my life before the booster shot: Metoprolol, Eliquis, Famotidine, and Ranexa. Post hospital cardiologist and GP visits and lab tests.

11.15.2021 – Afib is again nearly constant. I'll likely have cardiac ablation in the next few days in the hope of stopping it. Again, I attribute the Afib as a negative side effect of my Moderna booster 3 wks ago. Thorough exams and blood tests at both GP and Cardiologist offices.

11.29.2021 – Afib returned. I will need a surgical procedure called Ablation. For now I'm taking meds to alleviate the Afib, which saps my energy, sense of balance, and visual acuity up close; I need reading glasses. Doctor office visit.

12.6.2021 – Afib came back. The drugs are working to control it, but this past week has been all about Ablation education. Gonna have that procedure. Office consult; ECG and other tests.

4.25.2022 – Afib, until having an Ablation procedure March 3. See above.
