symptoms after multiple procedures

[tuxedo56]

I had 3 cardiac ablations for a-fib/a-flutter (10-2-13, 3-24-14, & 5-2-14), then in August 2014 I had an attempted left atrial appendage loop procedure. On 11-26-14 I had open heart Mase procedure with a clip on left atrial appendage.  Between 9-5-13 and `12-17-14 i was hospitalized 14 times.  I still get extremely short of breath on exertion and have been walking on the treadmill at home, but can't make it past usually 5 minutes due to extreme fatigue and SOB.  I work in a rather large hospital and walking down a long hallway takes my breath away? Is this normal?  Am I being to inpatient for recovery and some sort of normalcy? Very frustrating !!!

My aflutter is quite different from my afib.  It is less noticeable and is basically a rapid, regular heart beat.  Hope this is helpful.

if i worked in a hospital i would be talking to a cardio dr there and having test ran,

can i ask what does the flutter feel like , i have pacs that feel like flutters is it the same thing

It doesn't seem to me you are being too impatient.  You have been thru a lot.  That being said, it has been just 3 months since the maze procedure, maybe it takes longer to improve how you feel?  I think your doctor should be answering these questions -- you deserve answers -- no one has more at stake than you.  Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers -- good luck.
