PC associated with A-FIB?

Thanks "scottbeammeup".
We're the same but different - like most things PC.
I've had several, maybe dozens, of A-fib episodes. Some before Lupron and some during. All but two were totally invisible to me; very strange. I've had a "loop monitor" for almost 2-years now and it picked up many at all hours of day/night that I never felt. But then one, when I was stressed again, literally put me on the ground one day. Thought I was gonna die. So Cardio Doc (who is super and specializes in Electrocardiology) then did an ablation (common treatment for A-fib) and all has been well since. But I still and will carry Metropolol with me. Thanks for sharing and hope others with PC don't add this to their lists. Enough already!

I have considered an ablation but, at least for now, my episodes are few and far between. Before the run of episodes at the start of my prostate cancer "journey" I had maybe one episode of afib every two years. My cardiologist said if they become frequent then an ablation would be appropriate but if they stay rare then medication is enough for now. Thanks for the info!
