@susieq1957 Sorry to see all this. A lot of what you relate is in my story as well. Bending over, belching, sometimes eating a bit too much and having a distended stomach that makes things tight down there around my heart, and...bam....off into AF I go.

I had an ablation in 2023 that stopped it. I have been free of AF since Valentines Day of 2023. While your heart is still in its paroxysmal stage, that is the best time to have an ablation.

You should probably have and wear a smart watch. If you can feel the onset of AF or PACs, immediately make the watch take an ECG. Then, download it from your watch to the associated health app on your phone (this is usually done automatically via Bluetooth). You can send the file as an attachment to your cardiologist and he/she'll soon see you aren't pulling anyone's leg about this. It's what I did, and my electrophysiologist didn't ask for anything else or call me to question me. He had his clerk schedule me for a second ablation immediately based solely on my Samsung Galaxy watch's ECG....which very clearly showed I was in AF.
