It used to be a bother. I was highly symptomatic with thumping in my chest wall, I was restless and had to pace (couldn't sit with the missus and watch TV if my heart went into AF). Fortunately, my AF always settled down just as I fell asleep. Reliably, no exceptions...the weirdest thing because my sister in law is like many AF sufferers whose hearts GO INTO AF just as they settle down in bed. How awful!

I had a catheter ablation that isolated the area where the unwanted electrical signal was entering the rear wall of my left atrium, the place where the pulmonary veins empty into that chamber. I have been free of AF for seventeen sweet months now. Deo volente, it will continue.
