AVNRT, Sinus Node abl, cryo abl for A fib, 40 yr old female

[lmthames]

I have had an ablation for AVNRT, my sinus node ablated with no pace maker needed yet, a cryo ablation for A fib and PVCs.  I'm 40 and had my cryo in Oct. 2011.  In the recovery room I had to have 3 atropine injections because of low heart rate.  Are these problems common?  Can all of this affect my life expectancy?  I need to have a minor outpatient proc but am horrified due to my complications in recovery from cryo.  Is it ok to go under anesthesia?  I tried to go to Cleveland Clinic or Mayo Clinic for another eval but ins. Wouldn't approve referral.  My nerves are shot.  Please help!
Thanks,
Lori

Thanks Jerry.  That's a good idea.  I will have to check into that.  I appreciate your comment.

I do not have a personal experience but a colleague of mine made contact a few years back with Cleveland Clinic, I believe.  He did this via their web interface and for a modest (I'll say a few hundred $) fee he got a review and recommendation on an ablation proposal from his at-home doctors.  In this all the tests made were sent to the doctor(s) at Cleveland Clinic.  This was a way to get a second opinion that the insurance wouldn't pay.

He didn't get an ablation and takes medication to control atrial problems, not sure if it was flutter or fibrillation.   He, like I, is an older person and that surely played a role in the decision not to ablate.
