Hi, I am also going through what you are. I have a AFib since 1990, I was told back then I needed a pacemaker but I was young and said no. I always knew I had a heart rhythm condition but it never bothered me. When I turned 65 I went for my wellness checkup and the NP did a ekg and said I needed a cardiologist to get my heart back in rhythm. I went to a Cardiologist/electrophisiologist and was told I was in 100% AFib. After 2 months I went into AFlutter . After 8 months of many different blood thinners, flecainide, diltiazem, many, many EKG's, 2 cardioversions, he is going to talk to me about a cardiac ablation when I go and see him on 4/24. I have heard that this procedure is really good, a lot of what I have read seems to really help people. Thank You.
