Hi there. I can only speak for myself. As soon as I read about catheter ablations, I wanted one. The previous week would have been great.

If you are asymptomatic, you are way ahead of a great many of us who know immediately when we enter AF. It can be awful and unsettling. For some really unfortunate people, theirs comes one when they recline in bed at night. Imagine trying to fall asleep like that. In my case, I was symptomatic during the episodes, but they never took place at night to my knowledge. But the daytime experience was enough to make we want anything that could rid me of the symptoms. That's point one. Point two was that I did a LOT OF reading and learned that when the heart gets electrically disordered, it usually progresses from paroxysmal episodes (they come and go on their own) to persistent, and then to permanent. This can be in a few weeks or a few years, with me being the latter type. As my episodes became more frequent, I began to get snarky about being referred to an electrophysiologist, and thank the Good Lord I got a good one.

AF won't kill you, at least not soon. It can make your life awful, though, if just due to anxiety. So, I couldn't wait to get an ablation once I knew what was involved, why the heart fibrillates, and how ablations work to stop the electrical signals from entering the left atrium in more than one location. ...which is why the atrium fibrillates.

You have a complication with situs inversus of the heart. It means your heart is oriented unusually in your chest. I am insufficiently informed to comment on this, but I would really want to understand why your cardiologist has ruled out an ablation...if I read your post correctly. And I would then seek a second, and even a third opinion. In fact, I would suggest you consult with either Dr. Andrea Natale at the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute in Austin (you can google him) or with Dr. Pasquale Santangeli at the Cleveland Clinic. They're both at the tops of their EP fields. Your aim is to finally accept that you indeed are not a candidate for ablation, even a simple pulmonary vein isolation ablation, or learn that something more complicated that a real crackerjack EP would be happy to do for you is possible if you can wait in line for four or five months (if that long).
