Isolated Atrial Fibrillation Episodes: Is Ablation a Good Fit?

Exact thing happened to me this week, in fact. I’m at a “2% burden” rate. But my cardiologist and my GP both concur I should take Eliquis 2x daily. I’m having a hard time excepting this, by the way. I have no symptoms and if my Apple Watch didn’t tell me a year ago I’d still be unaware of my Afib.

all I can say is, I wouldn't take it. Here is the side effects -
Spinal bleeding
Swelling of the face or tongue
Allergic reaction
Eliquis withdrawal symptoms
Thrombocytopenia
Tiredness
Anemia
Bleeding from cuts
Chest pain or tightness
Constipation
Wheezing
You have no symptoms, but docs want you to take a pill that possibly does one or more of the above. Really???
Unaware of AFib, I had a stroke so please take your anti-co.agulant.

How is that burden rate determined? I’ve been on the eliquis 2 weeks now and notice other things (that I didn’t know were related) have stopped; like my eyes sometimes getting blurry, fingertips sometimes feeling decreased sensation, and odd headaches.
