I (73M) was diagnosed with AFib in 2016. As it goes with this issue, it continued to get worse over time with episodes lasting longer and becoming more frequent. I went from several events a year, lasting minutes, to 59 episodes in 2024 lasting 20+ hours each. I finally had a PF ablation at Mayo Rochester on February 20, 2025. Best decision I ever made. It was outpatient, easy, pain-free, no side effects. AFib is gone. I wish I had done it sooner but now glad to have my life back. To try and avoid recurrence, just learn your triggers and avoid them. General advice is to drink lots of water, avoid vegus triggers like overeating and vomiting, avoid over exertion, caffeine, alcohol, straw sipping ice-cold drinks, smoking, lack of sleep, and eat mostly fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains.
