I'm taking amiodarone 200 mg for my a pulse rate ablation for Afib four weeks ago, as I went into Afib four days after the procedure.

That's a distinct bummer if it turns out to be a complete reversion to AF, yogal. Did it stop, or is it still in AF? If it comes and goes, but mostly stays away, there's a good chance you'll be in normal sinus by the time you get your Holter assessment in about six weeks...unless your electrophysiologist feels there's no need because you are still experiencing confirmed AF. I hope your heart settles. I managed a whole six days before my GP felt my wrist and asked me to go get a proper 12 lead ECG at the local hospital. That was when I was placed on amiodarone and told to stop metoprolol. My hear rate was about 180 and didn't want to stop, but I was also getting those long pauses, which scared everyone.
BTW, your ablation was 'pulsed field' ablation, the latest and greatest. 😀
