History of surgeryHad ablation surgery at Meijer Heart Center in Grand Rapids Michigan by Dr. Bousha Finta. Had all five (got an extra one) pulmonary veins ablated.Hoping it worked. Have had a tough time sense surgery. Had a reaction to general vomited in my sleep and had to be in recovery for 5 hours. Now have dry cough and chest heaviness. No afib though. Just a couple dropped beats.
