someone I love has this same problem. it has been 3 years after he was diagnosed with lyme disease and it was a bad case. He was almost septic. He was given 2 different antibiotics for 6 weeks. It took him a year to feel good again. Then within that year he was diagnosed with a fib and heart flutter. 3 years after he was diagnosed and treated for lyme disease and treated for afib and flutter with medications,which wasn't working well. An ablation was performed to remove the flutter, they found the flutter in the left atria. The proceedure took 8 hours. The flutter was removed but he was told that he has conductive heart disease and that this part of his heart looks like that of an 80 year old man. This is 3 years after the diagnosis of lyme disease. And the next time he experiences shortness of breath, dizziness, fatigue, etc that he is to go to the emergency room and then he will get a pace maker. The person is in good shape so the doctor was really surprised to see his heart in this condition at age 59. But lyme disease seemed to answer his confusion about this this.
What do you think the life expectancy is and what do you think the quality of life will be?
