Soooooo glad to see that you have come through it well, and that you're gaining confidence and ease again. Yes, after months or years of in-and-out of AF, and then finally hearing the welcome 'lubdub, lubdub...' at night, it's almost disconcerting. Mine is quite loud, enough that I check my waking BP about once a week just to be sure everything is okay. I use my Galaxy watch, and trying not to move much, I turn my wrist, open the app, and set it to run my blood pressure while I let my forearm rest again. Inside of 30 seconds I get a reading and am rewarded to see a set of pressures like 118/65. I dunno what it's like the rest of the day, but I can be confident of normal sinus rhythm and a low, resting, BP at night. Good stuff!

Congratulations for persevering and enduring, and for coming back to share your experience!

BTW, rereading my first reply to you, I goofed and said the Sucralfate is to protect the trachea. I'm glad I didn't get it into my trachea because it is really meant for the esophagus. D'OH!!
