Thank you so much for the feedback! The A-fib episode started again last night at midnight! Third one in a month. So frustrated and upset and angry! I have another month to wait for an appointment with an electrophysiologist! I don't know how people "live" with this when it is so disruptive to me! You give me hope but I don't know what I am going to do now if this doesn't resolve in the next few hours! I so appreciate your information!

Where I live it is very rural and getting an appointment with a specialist takes some time. To see a cardiologist, it took about 5 weeks, and I have to travel 40 miles each way. To have the PFA I had to fly to Denver and spend 4 days there. My Afib started in December 2024, and it took until 5 March before I could have a cardioversion which lasted until the Sunday before the Friday PFA. I went back to NSR on Monday and was in NSR when they started the PFA procedure. If possible, maybe you can get a cardioversion while you go through the process of setting up a date for PFA. Worked for me.
