@muppet7777 I can sympathize as I did a lot of pacing in order to calm myself when I was in AF. The missus and I would be watching TV, I'd bend over to pick up something dropped, and the internal visceral pressure would set my heart off. I'd have to stand up and walk around the house, at which my wife knew I had just gone into AF. After a horrible final six months when an EP agreed to ablate me, people told me I looked grey before the procedure. Not good. But, time passes, a good surgeon gets you back into NSR during day surgery (it starts before 0600 hrs so you can be at the ward hallway waiting to be called in to change and have an IV put in in case you have to be switched up and go first). You're home that night and you begin to calm and experience a calm heart once again. I needed two ablations to get there, but the second one got me into NSR now 37 blissful months. A good EP can help to check PACs as well.
