Afib is the "common cold of cardiology" and there are a lot of people with it. That is no excuse for a lack of empathy. Look up your CHADS2VASc score or CHADS2DS2VASc

That can either help you relax a bit (if risk is low) or perhaps get more attention if it is higher. You may still be low risk. Not there isn't a need to hurry, with you going away....

Thank you for the links and I’m considered Hugh risk on both. All the more reason for action!
Thank you for your support.
