Summary
Creek 24481, a woman in her forties, developed AFib in 2018 after a viral infection; it worsened over the years. Rashes and burning mouth followed her third and fourth COVID shots, and another vaccine flared them again. A cardiac ablation in summer 2023 left her much better; a COVID infection that autumn briefly upset her heart for about a week. She reported doing much better after the ablation and has described exercising with lighter weights and a monitored heart rate.
