I had one yesterday! I had to stay overnight but it was not bad. I don't know what to tell you except that I was newly diagnosed a year ago in October and my sypmptoms were still proxysmal. After reading the latest information from experts on YouTube, I learned that there are several options for a patient to try when they are first diagnosed, but the best option is ablation for the best chance at a "cure". I wish I had had mine done months ago, but my cardiologist didn't offer that until I got informed and pushed for it! One cardioversion, several breakouts over the months--short-lived but still annoying--and a trial on Flecainide that may have "worked" but had side effects and a scary list of side-effects! I found a very excellent electrophysiologist and a hospital that did pulse field ablations. I am hopeful and I wish I had done it sooner! According to the experts, the longer it occurs, the more it spreads and the harder it is to treat with ablation. You need a really good doc to do this so check out his creds and ask lots of questions! Good luck! I truly feel your pain!
