@nanalu We humans have our 'faves', and I'm guessing your cardiologist is no different. I know physicians whose 'fave' is propafenone, or flecainide. The thing is they each have problems, they aren't equally tolerated across patients, and they have different chemical properties. The trick is to find one you can continue to take that doesn't make you miserable or make your condition worse, AND THAT produces the desired major effect...controlling your arrhythmia.

You are fortunate that your AF is still in the paroxysmal stage. Mine was for about five years before it became objectionable due to increased frequency and how it made me feel. If I could convince you to find another electrophysiologist and have a fresh set of eyes on your heart, I would. You're still in the early stage, a bonus, but it might not last forever. AF tends to progress, sometimes accelerating into another more advanced stage. A new EP might figure out what is going on with you, where you need further ablation, and maybe have you off drugs and free of AF for several years. Just sayin'...
