PF ablation after one symptomatic Afib episode?

I think that the docs only prescribing meds other than as needed is a good thing. I wouldn't be envious of those who have been taking meds or treatments because from what I read here, many of them don't work. or they have problems with them. I would not envy someone having ablation after one episode. Continue to avoid triggers, and do not ASSume it will increase. Pray that it doesn't!

@lindy9 I am not envious. I just find the variation in advice to be curious, but it is typical in medicine and would seem to indicate a troubling lack of consensus.

I don't assume afib will increase. There is nothing special about me though.

I certainly continue to hope to stave it off as long as possible. My efforts to avoid triggers may or may not be contributing. Others work hard at it and still have trouble.

A doctor did prescribe meds for me initially and I respectfully declined after discussion.

Thanks for your good wishes.
