Ive have the same problems and all of you, but i did have the ablasion done in 1999, I had the same problem as you Richard, and it started when I was 13 im now 44. I did have a chioce this beats up to 300pm were happening 3 to four times a day, before that only two or three times a year, I must say the the ablasion for me was the best thing I ever did. The fast attacks stopped, but I still have skips and flutters, which like most of you the doc says is ok, but Ill tell you all they will scare the living hell out of you, If you never feel them you are so lucky but if you are a person like myself who feels the everyday it is terrible, it makes you scared to do anything,or even be alone, or go anywhere alone, I so here what you all are saying.
