@ltb7 I’m in exactly the same boat! 13 weeks post PFA. at 10 weeks stopped Flecinide. 36 hour off and Afib. So back on 50 mg twice daily. No incidents until last night 3am. Waited to take my dose in the morning because a monitor was suppose to be delivered so I thought that would give them a good reading. 12 hours in Afib I took med because monitor isn’t here yet. I too question a monitor when the meds were working

@tomandpatti sorry to hear that. I’m 6 weeks post PFA now. They are having me wear the heart monitor on 3/18 for 2 weeks, while on the medication. I questioned that and my doctor said that is what they do. My follow up is in April when I’m hoping to get off the Diltaizem and Flecainide, mainly because I still have bad side effects after a few months of being on them. I don’t know what will happen, my doctor did say they would give me the Flecainide as a PITP thing. I guess it’s a wait and see situation with no guarantee and everyone is so different, wishing you the best.
