I did not take aspirin, no 🙂

I think you are better off with any cardiologist than no cardiologist. I think you need a monitor to see how frequent and how long your afib is. They can discuss your risk factors which is a pretty standard discussion (CHADS score) including weight, alcohol, blood pressure, diabetes, gender, sleep apnea (Do you have that?) etc. And prescribe whatever might be needed. Keep us posted!

I will feel much better when I have an appointment with a cardiologist. Right now I have a good idea of what is needed but I am so frustrated by the lack of empathy and response from my doctor and the cardiology department. I am well aware of the implications of no treatment and that makes it all the more frustrating. I will keep you posted and will hope for the best.
