I am currently in my 4th episode of AFib (each about 3 months) since I received my pacemaker. One I self-converted; two I had cardioversion. My EP said that you can't be shocked every few months! I am going to look into PFA, although he recommended AV Node ablation. Like sjm46 I would love to know WHY. I don't go near caffeine or alcohol, and I am also 79 with a concern that I am considered "old" by some of the doctors. It really helps to read experiences of people on this discussion (as stated above "it helps not to feel alone in this journey"). Some folks "live with" AFib. I don't want to live with the shortness of breath when walking fast or climbing steps. However, I don't want to continue to have AFib again and again after various treatments. Have any of you who had PFA then later had a recurrence of AFib, or did the PFA end the Afib? I have been on probably every possible medication - with no results. Currently I am taking 225 mg of Propafenone 3 times a day. Obviously, it did not prevent me from going back into AFib! Thanks to all of you!
