Could it be A Flutter and not A Fib?

@gloaming Thanks for the reply. I do have a Kardia and try to take at least one a week. When I had the incidence of the Afib or Flutter it was really obvious to me. I also had the adenosine I believe, felt like I was dying..but that is what put me back into rhythm, 2 cardioversions did not work. The ekg at my first appointment at the cardiologist showed nsr..every kardia reading the same. My new family practice Dr. also said nsr at her visit last month. Am I really an afib patient? Don't know but taking eliquis since it is on the diagnosis page. Will hope the new cardiologist enrolls me in the REACT clinical trial and I can go to pip, it makes no sense to me to be on this constantly if I have no symptoms for so long. I work out, drink coffee, no alcohol, have gotten accidently dehydrated..I have gerd..not like I am tempting fate and not courting a stroke..but ...I believe I have some side effects to the drug and would like to get off at least temporarily to see. I do follow medical advice or would have quit already.

My first cardiologist completely missed my AF by simply going by what the computer read out said was AFL! I went to two expert
EPs who reviewed the Ziopatch results snd independently confirmed the AF AND the AFL! So it works both ways.
FYI, my AF/AFL burden was only 2%, and both EPs still recommended a catheter ablation to nip the arrhythmias in the bud.
