Thanks for the reply. Our wood-stove has a good draft and we only burn well seasoned wood, however there are instances when upon opening the door to tend the fire, a puff of smoke will enter the room. I had an ablation, and today marks the one year anniversary without a recurrence of Afib, albeit with some brief spells of PVCs and PACs that tend to unnerve me. I suppose I could do an experiment and not use the wood stove for a while to see if it makes a difference....but I would hate to give up those cozy evenings by the fire.

@nevets I had ablation in 2017 and after blanking period - about 2 months- no issues. However by 2021 I started having sporadic episomes of AFIB/flutter plus almost continuous PVCs and PACs. By 2024 the PVCs/pacs comprised almost 20% of all beats. Based upon my EP’s suggestion I lowered my thyroid hormone amount (cancerous-thyroid surgically removed 38 yrs ago. After lowering the dosage my symptoms ceased. So pls use my experience if it will help you.

@nevets I, too, have had the odd blip....when I pay attention it's a triplet or quadruplet of tachycardia, and then the heart resumes normal sinus. This happens maybe every two/three months, and then it's gone. If this is what you are getting, a one/two/three...and then it's okay again, and it happens even once a week, you 'should' be okay. If they come on three-eight times a day, it might be a sign that you're working backwards and that it's time for a Holter assessment. That would be my counsel, if it's anything you can count on...LOL!
