@clwalker24 how often and how long are your afib episodes? I have had episodes once or twice a year for 10 years now and am still not on meds, though I have "pill in the pocket" diltiazem and Eliquis to use as needed (have only used the diltiazem once and have never used the Eliquis though I am sure I will, short term, after an episode). I have no illusions about what the future may hold but just saying, not all of us have to immediately go on meds. That said, @gloaming has a lot of expertise.

You might be interested in the book "The Afib Cure" by two cardiologists. Hokey title but lots of good info.
